Join us for a Sociology and Anthropology FAC Chat* on the relationship between contemporary protests/social movements and different notions of democracy around the world.
A panel with: Andrew Crosby Amina Mire Chike Nwoke Vivian Solana
In recent years, in many places around the world significant protests movements have emerged against local and national governments and figures of power. Many of these protests have happened in the context of “democracy” and demands for better democratic representation. This panel, with knowledge and interest in Indigenous activism in Canada, Russian society and politics, social-media activism in Nigeria, and the Western Sahara anti-colonial and independence movement, will discuss the different ways we can think about the relationship between democracy and protest.
Everyone is welcome to this informal and interactive discussion.
If you have any questions, please email matthew.hawkins@carleton.ca.
