Some events are politically transformative. Examples include the pandemic, climate change, the civil rights movement, and the Black Lives Matter movement. This workshop investigates political transformative experiences through a range of angles, among others, Indigenous philosophies, African-American political thought, and American pragmatism.
This event is online and will take place on Zoom. Please send an email to Yiling Zhou, [email protected], assistant to the Danforth Chair to register.
