On Thursday and Friday, December 10 & 11, 2020, the graduate students in political theory, DOG, and the Safra Center, will host a two-day symposium: The Ethics and Practice of Dissent, which will bring together activists, professors, and graduate students in three boundary-crossing panels to discuss pressing questions about contemporary protest and to bring together the insights of both practitioners and academics.
The panels will address the legacy of the civil rights movement, social movements and policy change, and strategies of contemporary protest from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
AAAS Graduate student Kierstan Carter will be moderating the Friday morning panel discussion titled Practice as Theory from 10-11:30AM (Eastern). AAAS Professor Brandon Terry will moderate the Friday afternoon panel from 2:30-4:00PM (Eastern).
