Weiser Hall 10th Floor
Victoria Copeland, Megan Fereday, Kim Fernandes, Wells Lucas Santo, and Shin Yang in conversation with M. Remi Yergeau

What does it mean to be in community? This panel brings together activists, scholars, and writers to explore connections between critical social issues—health justice, discrimination, technofascism, and surveillance—and the possibilities of grassroots response. Panelists will discuss tensions between collectivizing and collaborating: How do we negotiate care when our access to care hinges on being identified and enumerated by the state? What tactics for resistance might we use in digital communities that are subject to increased surveillance? How can we be there for and with each other?

This panel conversation is open to the public, and we encourage all interested faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students to attend. 

Refreshments will be provided for the first 100 attendees.
