11th Annual Critical Diversity Studies Forum
“Moving Toward Radical Imagination” with adrienne maree brown
Thursday, September 30, 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. PST, Online Webinar
We are in a time of transition and emergence. As a nation, we are reckoning with historical and systemic violences and the failure of our systems, and we are also witnessing the emergence of powerful and transformative solidarities. Our futures will be determined by the choices we make today, and we have the power to reimagine futures that are more just, loving, and life-giving than any that we have witnessed in our histories. We are pleased to announce our keynote speaker for this year’s forum: adrienne maree brown, a writer and currently the writer-in-residence at the Emergent Strategy Ideation Institute.
In this year’s CDS Forum, we will examine the role of radical imagination. We will ask: In what directions do we want to grow: as individuals, communities, and a nation? How can we allow those most impacted by violence to lead us? How can we reimagine and construct new systems, practices, and relations that are rooted in collective care, accountability, justice, and joy?
Please plan to join us for this extraordinary conversation.
