Imagining a Different University
This Spring Speaker Series, "Imagining a Different University" is brought to you by the I-4C Collective, a research collaborative at the Hugh Downs School that addresses the most pressing global communication issues of our time.
Throughout the Spring 2021 semester, leading communication scholars and artists will join the ASU community to imagine different worlds, different relational formations, and a different university. Centering the pervasiveness of anti-Black racism, xenophobic violence, and fascist growth animating the context constituted as “now,” we have nothing left but to imagine something and somewhere else.
Something humane.
Something liberatory.
Something different.
We invite you to join us in Imagining a Different University!
