Leny Mendoza Strobel, AMCS Department, recently organized a symposium on "The Intersection of Faith and Spirituality, Culture and Social Justice in the Filipino American Community." The symposium presented the research of Filipino American graduate theology students from the Graduate Theological Union and the keynote lecture of Dr. Melba P. Maggay, Founder and President of the Institute for Studies in Asian Church and Culture, on "Filipino Indigenous Religious Consciousness." The day-long symposium was co-sponsored by UCSF Comprehensive Cancer Center, Filipino Interfaith Network, AMCS Dept/SSU, Franciscan School of Theology/GTU, Kapwa-Intervarsity Chapter/UCBerkeley, and PUSOD: Center for Ecology, Culture and Bayan. Suzanne Toczyski, Modern Languages & Literatures, presented a paper entitled "Navigating the Seas of Alterity: Jean-Baptiste Labat's _Voyage aux isles_ and the Third Space" at the annual conference of SE17, the Society for Interdisciplinary French Seventeenth-Century Studies, held in Williamsburg, Virginia in October. Toczyski's paper considered the complex and contradictory reputation of a Christian missionary posted to the island of Martinique in the seventeenth century, and his ambivalent relationship with the island's slave population, in the light of Homi Bhabha's notion of the Third Space.
