Caffè Italiano is an intercultural language exchange event that takes place weekly on the Boston campus. Italian teaching faculty and students gather to practice speaking Italian using games and other fun activities to develop conversation skills and to learn about Italian culture. The idea is to practice with both native and non-native speakers of the language, to socialize and learn about our multicultural students.

In Nazis of Copley Square, Charles Gallagher, Associate Professor of History, Boston College, provides a crucial missing chapter in the history of the American far right. The men of the Christian Front imagined themselves as crusaders fighting for the spiritual re-conquest of the nation, under assault from godless Communism, and they were hardly alone in their beliefs. The front’s anti-Semitism was inspired by Sunday sermons and by lay leaders openly espousing fascist and Nazi beliefs.

This event is part of the Robert Salomon Morton Lecture Series.

Feminism for the Future: Constructive Conversations on Lesbian and Trans Identities and Politics is the eighth annual Women's History Month Symposium hosted by the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies department.

In recent years, the conflicts between trans activists and some segments of the lesbian population have become increasingly polarized and tense. While this has been less pronounced in the US than in Britain, where a version of trans-exclusive radical feminism is quite visible and vocal, tensions can still run high here in the US. This Symposium seeks to provoke meaningful dialogue on the relationship among feminism, trans scholarship and activism, and lesbian politics.

The English Department, Asian Studies Program, and Africana Studies Program are pleased to present this event, which is part of the Series on Asian American Politics. It is free and open to the public.
