- November 2, 2007: California Indian Storytellers. We have three speakers: Alex Ramirez, Gregg Castro, and Amber Machamer. We have arranged to have this and all the other event audio recorded as a podcast. There is also video recording equipment in the room so we can record the event. Jeanne Virgilio has agreed to be our videographer.
- December7, 2007: Cuban Culture. This Friday night event will be one part of a week-long series of events.

- April 11, 2008: Media, Culture and Identity in the MDB Lecture Hall. We will be viewing Stranger With A Camera, which is the story of the murder of filmmaker Hugh O'Connor as he attempted to document Central Appalachian poverty. The film covers much more than this one incident as it explores issues of representation, culture and the media. Following the screening will be a Q&A with the filmmaker, Elizabeth Barret.
