How does the economic and ecological crises affect popular mobilization for social change? Panelists draw from vast experience and knowledge of activism in Latin America, the Middle East and elsewhere to assess the resources and obstacles to social movement efforts to unite around shared goals. How do movements build solidarity and enduring relationships that connect local level activism with global analyses and networks?
Reception for faculty, graduate students, and guests to follow in 4130 Posvar Hall.
