The 2022-2023 Feinberg Series is presented by the UMass Amherst Department of History in collaboration with the Ellsberg Initiative for Peace and Democracy and more than three dozen additional partnering organizations.
The Ellsberg Initiative
The series’s primary co-sponsor and co-presenter is the Ellsberg Initiative for Peace and Democracy, a new initiative at UMass Amherst that builds on the legacy of whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg by raising public awareness and activism in support of the issues that have animated his life’s work, including truth-telling, anti-authoritarianism, government and corporate accountability, nuclear disarmament, and social and environmental justice.
