Title: The World We Build: Advocacy and Power

Sponsored by Dr. Jean Morrison, University Provost and Chief Academic Officer

For those of us who desire to live in a more just and equitable world but who don’t think of ourselves as activists or even particularly progressive, what is our place and role in the #MeToo, #MarchForOurLives, #BlackLivesMatter era? What is the meaning of advocacy and power in the face of such monumental movements? In her keynote, Williams will explore the perceived tensions between our conception of meaningful impact and what it means to become an advocate and trigger your own personal power on behalf of the collective good.
