CASC Community Dialogue: Organizing for Social Change Forum
October 5, 2017 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm
Recent events on campus and in society have strained the culture and climate our university. Recognizing that CASC minor students are firmly engaged in activist and organizing efforts across campus (and beyond) the following event creates a space where students can process existing challenges, success, and critical questions through a facilitated discussion with faculty director Katie Richards Schuster, PhD.
What strategies can we design to promote multi-issue organizing?
How can we manage collective liberation in our existing communities?
In what ways can we prioritize coalition building and dioalogic communication amidst a hostile climate?
Join us over lunch to process your experiences, and ideas for social change.
