Radical Theory: Exploring Ideas for Social Justice and Social Change
How we think about the world and our place in it matters. Social change and social justice aren’t just about social movements and collective action, they’re also about ideas – why society is the way it is, who benefits and who pays, how the world might be different, how we might get there. In this workshop we’ll take a tour through some key concepts advanced by radical political thinkers (alienation, exploitation, hegemony, liberation, oppression, revolution) and consider them in relation to actual struggles for radical social change and social justice to see if and how they “work” in the world.
