Reading “Finally Got The News”: 3rd Sessions, Part 4
Reading “Finally Got The News”: 3rd Sessions, Part 4
This reading group, designed to accompany Interference Archives’ exhibit Finally Got The News will explore some of the key liberation movements of the 1970s U.S. through the lens of written documents included in the exhibition, as well as excerpts from publications by the activists and intellectuals who led, chronicled and theorized about them. This is not a nostalgia trip, but an opportunity to critically examine some important and often-overlooked threads of our collective history in order to inform our own politics of liberation in the 21st century.

Challenging Militarism, Climate Change, and Human Nature
Challenging Militarism, Climate Change, and Human Nature
Our ability to address urgent threats to our existence like climate change and nuclear weapons is hampered and undermined by questionable assumptions about "human nature" that underlie much political thought and action....
