If we take our social, political, economic, and ecological crises seriously enough, can we build a world that is democratic, sustainable, and just?
This November 1st-16th, our campus will join many others around the world for the Next System Teach-Ins, where we will gather to ask critical questions:
- How well do we understand the crises of our time?
- What do we need to know about alternative designs to our current system?
- What can we learn from movements for system change?
Together, we will challenge a system locked in a downward spiral and learn from social movements working for a better world. We will study and foster emerging alternatives, asking how much of a workable next system is already here and how we might weave it together.
We invite students, faculty, and staff to join us in planning our Teach-In. Together, we can take responsibility for system change and help build the next system.
Another world is possible. A next system is necessary. This work is in your hands.
Please reach out to us to get involved in the planning process.
