Activism under Neoliberalism
This week we’re exploring activism under neoliberalism. We’ll ground our discussion with a text by Faranak Miraftab called Insurgent Planning: Situating Radical Planning in the Global South.
In addition to connecting to invited/invented activist spaces on our campus, we’ll discuss connections between Miraftab’s work and two articles on Indigenous activism:
- Indigenous Standing Rock Activist Imprisoned for Resisting Grand Jury (Natasha Lennard, The Intercept)
- 4 More States Propose Harsh New Penalties For Protesting Fossil Fuels (Alexander Kaufman, HuffPost)
We’ll all add to a shared class glossary if we come across terms that are unfamiliar or that we’d like to unpack further.
