Hello CASCers!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Welcome back to campus, we are excited to jump into CASC events for 2020! This month you can look forward to Tawana Petty's Towards Humanity: A Conversation on Humanism and Antiracist Organizing. Through a lecture and discussion, the presenter will explore pressing issues facing antiracist organizing and her vision and approach to a humanistic philosophy. Following the lecture, the speaker will host a conversation with community development organizer Lauren A. Hood to discuss how Detroit based organizers navigate questions, themes, and challenges in ant-racist organizing, applications of humanism, and other guiding philosophical principles toward change.
