Co-sponsored by the Marcus Funds for Excellence in Cinema, the Marcus Endowed Chair in Social Justice Fiction Filmmaking Mayuran Tiruchelvam, the Feminist Filmmaking Collective (F3) at SFSU and the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity at Stanford University.
The Zoom event will be a conversation with the filmmaker Pratibha Parmar and Marcus Endowed Chair Mayuran Tiruchelvam and Wencie Hoang, F3 President (SFSU) and Usha Iyer, Professor of Film and Media at Stanford.
The event will be introduced by Professor and Director of the SFSU School of Cinema Celine Shimizu and Professor and Director of the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity at Stanford Jennifer Brody.

Join us and welcome Pratibha Parmar to our campus (virtually)! And join us to welcome Stanford faculty, staff and students in conversation with our community.
