"Viral Justice: How We Grow the World We Want"Join us for a lecture by sociologist Ruha Benjamin of Princeton University, as part of our series How Change Comes: Knowledge + Justice, in which scholars who have made indelible statements in both areas discuss the conditions of their work and how their political and intellectual investments inform each other.
If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it is that something almost undetectable can be deadly, and that we can transmit it without even knowing. Doesn’t this imply that small things, seemingly minor actions, decisions, and habits could have exponential effects in the other direction, tipping the scales toward justice: affirming life, fostering well-being, and invigorating society?
In this talk, Ruha Benjamin introduces a microvision of change—a way of looking at the everyday ways people are working to combat unjust systems and build alternatives to the oppressive status quo. Born of a stubborn hopefulness and grounded in social analysis, she offers a pragmatic and poetic approach to fostering a more just and joyful world.
