Hello, Carlos Andrés Gómez <http://carloslive.com/> will be coming to PLU April 2 (7pm in the University Center's Chris Knutsen Hall). A well known spoken-word poet (and an actor and author), Carlos will challenge us to think about what we all (men especially) can each do to create a more equitable world (in terms of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, etc) as we begin Sexual Assault Awareness Month this year. Below you will find more information about his performance. The event will be free to the PLU & broader community, though we ask that you please help us plan seating by registering here<https://docs.google.com/a/plu.edu/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dE1WS2pjQXJ4Mm15TE9kamdYNDhhV3c6MQ#gid=0>. Feel free to pass this on to others on campus who might be interested and/or use the attached poster to help spread the word. Please note that we do expect to fill the CK and that all seats will be on a first come, first served basis. Thank you and have a wonderful start to Spring! Jonathan * * *Behind the Masc with **Carlos Andrés Gómez <http://www.carloslive.com/>* A special interactive performance with *Carlos Andrés Gómez<http://carloslive.com/> *(author of *Man Up: Cracking the Code of Modern Manhood*) that looks at what it means to be a ‘good man’ in a world where masculinity is too often confined by the narrowest and most limiting of definitions. Carlos engages the audience in a dialogue-focused, high-octane town hall, in which they explore the complex dimensions of how masculinity plays out in the world and, also, reimagine how it might exist for the better. No topic or issue is shied away from in this provocative and riveting program, as the group delves deep into the powerful, haunting, and beautiful dimensions of what it can mean to be a man and how that impacts the world.
