Spanish conversation Group
Every Monday, 12 - 1 pm in Campus Center room 116 (lower level)
This conversation group is open to anyone willing to try and converse. The idea is to jump in and converse the best you can while you have the opportunity! We hope to have at least one Spanish faculty member present at each conversation hour. We only have two requests of participants:
- No English during the hour
- No grammatical questions and/or expectations of help in the form of explanations

Film: Los Dos Escobars
Pablo Escobar was the richest, most powerful drug kingpin in the world. Andres Escobar was the biggest soccer star in Colombia. The two were not related, but their fates were inextricably - and fatally - intertwined. The Two Escobars is a riveting examination of the intersection of sports, crime, and politics.
Shifting the Discourse: Immigrant Rights as Human Rights
Thursday, May 31 at 3 pm in Wille Hall
In this presentation, Tanya Golash-Boza will explore why immigrants are dehumanized and explain how US immigration policies violate immigrants’ human rights. She argues that immigrant rights are human rights, and that the United States is responsible for the realization of migrants’ human rights in large part because US foreign and domestic policies have created international migration flows. In this presentation, she will address these and other questions: Where do most immigrants to the United States come from and why? Why are some immigrants undocumented? What are immigration raids and how do they affect migrants’ human rights? Who gets detained and deported and why? What is the solution to the immigration crisis? Tanya Golash-Boza is an Associate Professor of Sociology and American Studies at the University of Kansas.
Please contact Evelia Sandoval at 541.318.3726 or email esandoval@cocc.edu if you would like to assist with any of these programs.
