Public events feature a talk by a visiting scholar and/or artist and discussion. Our interest areas include topics such as the carceral and unresponsive state, alternate and solidarity economies, and community storytelling. The colloquium is sponsored by the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies at the University of Washington.
