Resistance Ecology, a new organization and a new movement intent on bringing together activists and organizations from both Animal Rights and Social Justice to form an adaptive and resilient movement capable of responding to the government's ever changing modes of suppression. The First Annual Resistance Ecology Conference is this May 31^st at PSU. Join me Linda Olson Osterlund and organizer Justin Kay to talk about resistance ecology and the upcoming conference.

Sixty five years ago this week, the Columbia River flooded into the largest public housing project in the U-S at the time, leaving 18,000 black people homeless and changing race relations in Portland forever.

On Friday May 24th, from 8 am to noon, KBOO presents a special program on the Vanport flood and racism in Portland, sixty five years later.

We’ll feature historians and archived audio, as well as a discussion led by PSU professor and activist Walidah Imarisha asking ‘Why are there so few black people in Oregon’.

Ten years before gaining official recognition as a program, female students and professors met to plan and implement the inclusion of Women's Studies courses at Portland State University. They held an event in the school’s ballroom and began offering ad hoc classes., later hiring a coordinator. Eventually Women’s Studies became an official program and then a department offering a major.
