The Daily Bruin

The music department will showcase a number of senior students in recital on the next two Saturdays. Join us in Bauman Auditorium for these free performances! We would love to have students and employees alike come and support these seniors as they showcase years of hard work.

Here is the schedule:

Saturday, March 11

• Tim Ray (trombone), 3:30 p.m.
• Laura Boles (voice), 5:30 p.m.

Saturday, March 18

• Jacob Hoglund (piano), 1:30 p.m.
• Natalie Marquette (voice), 3:30 p.m.
• Allison Kitz (voice), 5:30 p.m.

President Robin Baker would like to recognize Ted Allen for his valuable contributions to George Fox University by honoring him with a formal farewell.

You are invited to stop by Canyon Commons 101 on Wednesday, March 15, to express your appreciation and give farewell blessings to Ted from 1:30 to ​2:30 p.m.

Join us for a Liberal Arts and Critical Issues presentation this Monday, March 13, when Corwynn Beals, professor of philosophy and religion at George Fox, presents “The American Dream: Wanted Dead or Alive” in Hoover 105. The same presentation will be made from 5 to 6 p.m. and from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Some say the American Dream is dead – that it is no longer equally possible for all to work hard for true freedom. Others reached “The Dream” and found their soul died along the way. Beals will take a hard look at the status of “The  Dream” and see what people are doing who say that “The Dream” (and their soul) is still alive.

The theme for this semester’s LACI series is “The Future of the American Dream.” For more information, contact Laurie Fair at lfair@georgefox.edu.

How do Evangelical Latina/o immigrants use their faith to contest “crimmigration,” or the increasing collaboration between local police and immigration enforcement?

Join us for a special presentation, “Christian Identity, Immigration and Crime,” presented by Dr. Melissa Guzman, assistant professor of sociology at San Francisco State University, tonight (Wednesday) from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in Canyon Commons 101.

Based on two years of ethnographic research conducted across different Evangelical Mexican and Central American congregations in California, Guzman examines how the everyday lives of undocumented Latina/o migrants are structured by the criminal justice system, as they negotiate the constant threat of deportation, avoid criminalization, and use their Christian identities to establish a sense of spiritual legitimacy in their communities.

By documenting how Evangelical Latina/o migrants negotiate their religious identities in a context of crime and immigration, her research shows how criminalization affects different individuals in a community, not just the ones who come into direct contact with the criminal justice system by being arrested or deported.

Her work lies at the intersection of:

• Ethnographic research
• Immigration communities
• Religious identities
• Criminal justice

All are invited. Contact Aida Ramos (aramos@georgefox.edu) for more information.

See you there! Contact Nathanael Ankeny (nankeny@georgefox.edu) with any questions.
