Roosevelt House at Hunter College
“The Roosevelt House says of the event:
How can we confront the problems of diminished democracy, pervasive economic inequality, and persistent global poverty? Is it possible to fulfill the dual aims of deepening democratic participation and achieving economic justice, not only locally but also globally? This panel will take up the themes of social movements across borders, the prospects for empathy and solidarity with distant others, and the problem of gender and class inequalities in contemporary societies, as well as ways in which democratic deliberation can be enhanced by online networking and extended to the institutions of global governance.”
