We launched our second Open Lecture Series event on Saturday, May 27, 2017 in Minneapolis, MN. Social Justice: Addressing the Narrative of Fear was a conference examining various forms of social oppression and how these cultural prejudices are exploited by the right wing to reinforce the fear narrative. In this FREE course, the conference is presented in eight parts and includes:
