For more information: martham@pitt.edu
Ramón Gómez de la Serna was a prolific Spanish-Argentinian poet, novelist, and essayist, who is especially known for creating a new literary genre he named the “greguería.” His works significantly influenced the avant-garde movement in Europe and Latin America. His personal papers consist of approximately 60,000 handwritten notes and manuscripts, clippings, photographs, and annotated first editions from his library from 1906-1967. The Special Collections Department at the University of Pittsburgh is pleased to announce that the finding aid as well as selected digitized content from the Ramón Gómez de la Serna Papers is now available online. Until now, this archival collection has only been available through an on-site visit to the University of Pittsburgh. However, digitizing selected portions of the collection gives insight into Gómez de la Serna’s life and the issues, experiences, and influences that defined his writings.
Honduras on Fire: Human Rights Crisis and Mass Migration
A Conversation with Honduran Human Rights Defender Aracely Medina Castillo
Two events:
Date: November 7, 2013
Time: 4:30 - 5:45pm
Location: Barco Law School (Forbes Ave), Room 107, Pitt
For more information: Dan Kovalik, dkovalik@usw.org
Date: November 11, 2013
Time: 4:30 - 6:00pm
Location: CMU, Room TBA
For more information: John Soluri, jsoluri@andrew.cmu.edu
Honduras faces a human rights crisis. It is the most dangerous country in the world and, according to Human Rights Watch, "violence and threats by unidentified perpetrators against journalists, human rights defenders, prosecutors, peasant activists, and transgender people remain serious problems. Perpetrators are rarely brought to justice." Meanwhile, according to the State Department, roughly 13% of the Honduran population—1 million Hondurans—have migrated to the United States, 600,000 of whom are believed to be undocumented. Why is there a human rights crisis in Honduras? Who is being killed and why? What is the role of U.S. policy? And why are people migrating to the U.S.? Is there a connection with the human rights crisis? Join Aracely Medina Castillo and Witness for Peace for an important conversation, "Honduras on Fire: Human Rights Crisis and Mass Migration."
Aracely Medina Castillo is a Honduran activist and educator who has worked for over a decade defending the human rights of Hondurans, focusing particularly on Honduran migrants and their families. She is the deputy director of the Jesuit Center for Reflection, Research, and Communication (ERIC-SJ), a think tank that conducts research and reports on societal trends and public opinion in Honduras. She is also the national supervisor of Jesuit Migrant Services-Honduras (SJM) and the Social Ministries coordinator for all of Central American. Ms. Medina will discuss the impact of the Honduran human rights crisis, why Hondurans migrate to the U.S., as well as her work supporting migrants and the family members left behind. Finally, Ms. Medina will speak to how U.S. policy can positively impact the situation. (In Spanish with English translation.)

Choro no Vinho
Date: Saturday, November 2, 2013
Time: 7 pm
Location: 3rd Street Gallery
For more information: https://www.facebook.com/ChoroNoVinho
$15.00 @ the door
Choro no Vinho was founded in Pittsburgh and plays traditional, Brazilian roots music known as choro. It was developed a little before the turn of the 20th century and is a mix of African and European influences. The music though is distinctly Brazilian. The name of our group “Choro No Vinho” is a play on words with a couple of meanings. It is partly inspired on the popular choro tune "Seu Lourenço No Vinho" (Mr. Lourenço on the wine...), and also comes from the word "novinho" (meaning "young"). It also implies the concept of grafting a new vine onto a branch, a process that combines two separate elements and bonds them together. The name is an ideal combination for our group, as we are young musicians of distinct backgrounds who have come together in a project to preserve the roots of choro and its tradition.
Band members are: Naoko Hirai, Abby Gross, PJ Roduta, Mike Borowski
