Counternarratives for Transformation to an Inclusive Society

Fridays, 6-8pm with Q&A and reception

Pratt Manhattan, Room 201, 144 West 14th Street

Always at the forefront of struggles for social justice, place-based grassroots initiatives are vital to our understanding of how practice can challenge white supremacy, racialized and gendered capitalism, land grabs, erasure, and climate denial. Taken collectively, grassroots initiatives that challenge the status quo are the movement that poses a counterpoint to the rise in totalitarianism across the globe. The 2023 GCPE Spring Lecture Series celebrates and amplifies the work of justice-serving initiatives and poses questions about how the fields of urbanism can help bring this work to scale.  @prattgcpe, website
