DESCRIPTION:The Social and Cultural Anthropology  Program at the California Institute 
 of Integral Studies hosts a conference and film festival on Kurdish human 
 rights, titled \\\"Kurdish Human Rights: Statelessness, Resistance, and 
 Survival\\\". The event takes place on September 4 and 5, 2004, in San 
 Francisco.  The Kurds and their allies have been engaged in diverse 
 struggles for survival and cultural rights. The conference brings together 
 prominent scholar-activists, across national boundaries and in diaspora, to 
 discuss the politics of Kurdish nationalisms, ethnic identities and human 
 rights. This conference will discuss issues of internally displaced 
 persons, and diaspora communities, engaging dynamics of alliance and 
 resistance, nation/statelessness, ethnicity, gender and class. The 
 conference will also explore the impact of empire and neocolonialism in 
 undermining the rights of Kurdish peoples, and the need to mobilize the 
 international community to address these complex issues and provide 
 support.  Individuals and organizations committed to human rights, cultural 
 survival and alliance building are cordially invited.  Saturday features a 
 day-long series of panel discussions and a cultural celebration with 
 Kurdish food, music and dance in the evening. Sunday features a Kurdish 
 film festival.  Confirmed speakers include: Tara Aziz, Angana Chatterji, 
 Fredrick Cloyd, Ali Ezzatyar, Michael Gunter, Rashid Karadaghi, Brucek 
 Khailany, Diane King, Soraya Mofty, Robert Olson, Mitchell Plitnick, Soraya 
 Serajeddini, Richard Shapiro, Joseph Subbiondo, Birusk Tugan, Nicole Watts, 
 Kani Xulam, and Stephen Zunes.  Films include: Innowhereland, Jiyan, 
 Saddam\\\'s Mass Graves, Song for Beko, and Time for Drunken Horses.
