December 10-11 | Harvard University Symposium | Ethics and Practice of Dissent
The Ethics and Practice of Dissent Symposium will bring together activists, professors, and graduate students in three boundary-crossing panels to discuss pressing questions about contemporary protest and to bring together the insights of both practitioners and academics. The panels will address the legacy of the civil rights movement, social movements and policy change, and strategies of contemporary protest from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
