Social Change Speaker Series

The CLASS Humanities Fellows are excited to announce the Spring 2022 Social Change Speaker Series. These talks and workshops are aimed to examine social change and engagement from a variety or perspectives and experiences (political engagement, big data, direct action, journalism, and the arts). Our goal is to foster discussion around how social change happens.
