Film & Discussion: Good Hair
Tuesday, February 9, 2010 - 6:00 pm
Donaghey Student Center Leadership Lounge
Come out to this first of a two-part event in which UALR faculty members Dr. Tim Edwards, Associate Professor of Mass Communications and Ben Fry, General Manager of KLRE/KUAR and adjunct professor in the School of Mass Communication will host a viewing of the Chris Rock documentary Good Hair. The event is free and open to the public and is sponsored by the Office of Campus Life.
According to USA Today, Good Hair “…sets out to explore the historically fraught concept of ‘good hair,’ which for African Americans burdened by the twin legacies of slavery and racism has traditionally been defined as hair more like white people’s. Do black women, Rock wonders, spend countless hours and hundreds of dollars in hair salons to make their hair straighter and silkier because they want to look white?”

David Coleman “The Dating Doctor” presents Making Relationships Matter:
After the text messages, IM’s, email, pokes, winks, chats and videos have ended…a couple will ultimately have to meet face-to-face if they want things to progress further. Then, they must rely upon the interpersonal skills they have (or have not) developed and rely on the experience (or lack thereof) they have from previous relationships. Reporting “on-line” to be “in a relationship” is a far cry from actually being involved in one. Interacting in person with a potential love interest is becoming increasingly harder for people as much of their initial contact is electronic-based and buffered. 11-Time National Campus Speaker of the Year, David Coleman, in a humorous, yet challenging manner, will show you how to form, mend and healthy relationships. He will cover: Who controls relationships and why, why pick up lines fail, subtle signs we exhibit when romantically interested in someone, profound differences between men and women, The ABC’s of Initial Interest, the five stages of relationships, the characteristics of healthy relationships, taking a break, breaking up, long-distance relationships and much more. If you are easily offended or fearful of the truth, this show may not be for you.
