Transcript of This year’s SWS Local Arrangement Committee is very ... · Greetings from San Diego, Dear SWS...
Greetings from San Diego,
Dear SWS members,
This year’s SWS Local Arrangement Committee is very excited about the 2020 Winter Meeting at
Paradise Point! At present, San Diego is enjoying a warm and sunny winter and our fingers are crossed
for great weather during our meeting as well.
The Program Committee and President-Elect Josephine Beoku-Betts put together a very exciting program
for the winter meeting that will keep you busy and productive for the four-day conference.
Since it is the first time SWS has a winter meeting in San Diego, the Local Arrangement Committee put
together some information so that SWS members can explore and enjoy San Diego during their stay too.
As you may know, San Diego is known as a popular destination for tourists looking for sunny weather
and family fun with San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, and LegoLand California. Of course, that is not all.
San Diego, which sits on the land that used to be home to the Kumeyaay nation, is now the second largest
city in California and the 8th largest city in the United States by population. The beautiful Coronado
Island, which has both the historic Hotel del Coronado where the classic film Some Like it Hot was
filmed, and the Naval base hosting the largest naval fleets in the world, is symbolic in a way. You will see
a lot of tourist attractions in downtown including military-related attractions from the Midway Museum to
the giant statue of the controversial V-J Day in Time Square.
San Diego is a border city, only a 30-minute drive from Tijuana, Mexico. Many binational, transborder
population live on one side of the border and work on the other side. Also, many local activists work with
refugees and on migrants’ human rights. With the growing number of professionals in biomedical and IT
fields, San Diego, like many cities in the United States, has seen the expansion of gentrification and
increasing rent and living expenses, which, combined with racial residential segregation, threaten the
livelihood of many working-class people. Of course, you won’t see all these issues but you may feel some
of the impact as you explore the city.
The information we put together includes the places that we thought could interest you. We hope that you
have a chance to check out the Chicano Park in Barrio Logan or the city’s first rainbow crosswalk in
Hillcrest.
We are so looking forward to seeing you all next week!
Safe travels~
Cheers,
2020 SWS Local Arrangements Committee
