The Long Arc of Fascism

This event is open to the public, yet registration is required. 

This day-long symposium will explore the rise of fascism in the present moment, including its multi-racial and international composition, and its relationships to other forms of state violence like extractivism, enslavement, colonialism, and imperialism. Parallel to the crises of fascism, we will discuss forms of belonging and social solidarity that draw from long histories of collective struggle against politics of fear and hatred.

Speakers include:

• Molly Crabapple, artist and author of “Here Where we Live is Our Country”
• Azad Essa, Senior Reporter, Middle East Eye
• Jeanelle Hope, Director and Associate Professor of African American Studies, Prairie View AM University
• Razia Iqbal, John L. Weinberg/Goldman Sachs & Co. Visiting Professor and Lecturer in SPIA, Princeton University
