[cid:ce7824f2-6046-48fd-b8ba-907a489abbb1] TOMORROW! 9/16 MARINA SITRIN: FROM OCCUPY TO FRACK-OFF; THE NEW LEADERLESS MOVEMENTS The Queens College Masters of Media Studies Colloquium Series welcomes Dr. Marina Sitrin in opening a conversation on recent horizontal movements from around the world. Marina will share stories from her study of, and participation in, movements such as Occupy Wall Street, housing defenses in the US and Europe, struggles against mines and Monsanto in Latin America, Frack-Off in the UK and neighborhood assemblies in Greece. In each of these places, she observes, people now look to one another for power and transformation, and through self-organization and direct action not only resist, but create alternative ways of being and living. Queens College, Flushing, NY - Building G - Room 200 Wednesday, September 16, 2015 5:30 - 6:20pm Dr. Sitrin is currently a Visiting Scholar at the Center for Place, Culture and Politics at the CUNY Graduate Center. She is the co-author of They Can't Represent US: Reinventing Democracy from Greece to Occupy, the author of Everyday Revolutions: Horizontalism and Autonomy in Argentina, and Horizontalism: Voices of Popular Power in Argentina. This event is free and open to the public. [cid:8a4f3d52-0ae8-4db8-b8d4-4c50e274577e]
