WALTER-BENJAMIN-LECTURES 2023 WITH SALLY HASLANGER

 

“Agents of Possibility: The Complexity of Social Change”

 

June 14-16, 6-8 pm, Otto-Braun-Saal, Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Potsdamerstraße 33

 

The lectures will consider how a social theory sensitive to dynamic systems can help us understand social stability and radical social change. One of the most significant features of contemporary societies is their longstanding patterns of injustice, oppression, and harm. And yet, there are times when change seems to happen remarkably quickly. How should we understand the systematic interaction between broad structures of race, gender, and class? What methods are promising for promoting positive social change? On what basis do we intervene in social systems?
