THOUSAND OAKS — CLU to present the free discussion “Intersectionality and Deep Political Solidarity: The Wonder Twin Powers of Social Justice” at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 10 at California Lutheran University, 60 W. Olsen Road, Thousand Oaks in Ullman 100/101.
There are more than 84 million Millennials and surveys repeatedly show that they are far more liberal on social issues than older generations, organizers reported in a media release. However, following the Great Recession, a more profound question persists: What constitutes an inclusive, egalitarian democracy? Tolerance, one of the most profound democratic values, may no longer be sufficient in 2015 to knit the fabric of society together.
Ange-Marie Hancock, Ph.D., is an associate professor of political science and gender studies at USC. She will discuss her book “Solidarity Politics for Millennials: A Guide to Ending the Oppression Olympics,” which focuses on the development of intersectional solidarity as a method of political engagement for individuals, groups and policy practitioners in U.S. politics. Hancock is a globally recognized scholar of the study of intersectionality – how race, gender, class and sexuality intersect in politics and impact public policy, and author of the award-winning book “The Politics of Disgust and the Public Identity of the ‘Welfare Queen.’ ”
Presented in collaboration with CLU’s Center for Equality and Justice. No RSVP required. Click here or contact Jose Marichal at 805-493-3328 or marichal@callutheran.edufor more information.
