Celebrate women – and learn how to become a Wikipedian while you’re at it. The Center for the Study of Women in Society, the Fembot Project and the ASUO Women’s Center are hosting two free public events March 8 and 9 that celebrate International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month by teaching and encouraging community members to become Wikipedians and by adding women to Wikipedia content.

Preliminary proposals are due by 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 6, for research, education, or action intended to reduce the likelihood of future genocide or mass atrocities.

The deadline is noon Thursday, March 7, to RSVP for the International Opportunities Workshop for UO Faculty, which runs from noon to 2 p.m. March 11 in the EMU Rogue River Room.

Eugene-raised film and video artist Loren Sears showcases his documentaries “The Haight Ashbury Quartet” and “The Pacific Lake” at 7 p.m. March 13 in the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. Schnitzer Cinema screenings are free and include free popcorn and soda. “The Haight Ashbury Quartet” is made up of four short, 16mm films that date from 1967 to 1971 and use experimental techniques of superimposition and optical printing to portray private and communal life in San Francisco.

What does it mean to be a woman in a country overshadowed by war? That theme will be explored beginning this week when University Theatre opens Heather Raffo’s “9 Parts of Desire,” directed by Michael Najjar. Timed to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Iraq War, and perhaps accidentally, International Women’s Day, “9 Parts of Desire” opens at 8 p.m. on March 7 and continues at the same time on March, 8, 9, 14, 15 and 16, and at 2 p.m. on March 17 in the UO’s Hope Theatre.
