dentity formation of black people’s images through popular culture mediums will be explored in the Feb. 10 program of the Conversations on Diversity speaker series at Cal State San Bernardino. “Black Image: Pop Culture in Media” will be presented by Anthony S. Blacksher, a spoken-word poet, from noon-1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 10, at CSUSB’s Santos Manuel Student Union Events Center. The lecture is free and open to the public. Parking is $5 per vehicle. Blacksher, who is also a professor of sociology at MiraCosta College in Oceanside, will discuss how the bodies, performances and cultural aesthetics of black people have been portrayed in popular culture. With a particular focus on the image as representation, this discussion will explore the role of entertainment mediums in reproducing racial hierarchies. Blacksher notes that while these systems of power have traditionally been represented on black bodies, he will also discuss the implications of black stereotypes operating on non-black bodies in popular culture. The event is sponsored by the CSUSB University Diversity Committee, which has presented the speaker series three times in the academic year since 2005, to facilitate dialogue among students, staff, faculty and the community about a variety of diversity issues. For more information about the lecture or to arrange special accommodations, contact Twillea Carthen-Evans at (909) 537-5138, or Mary Texeira at (909) 537-5547.
