A Facebook Live: Organizing in the Age of Trump

Start: 2018-03-16 13:00:00 UTC Eastern Time (US & Canada) (GMT-05:00)

This is a virtual event

Join us Friday, March 16 for a Facebook Live with Monica Owens, senior program officer and AAUP political organizer, and Hans-Joerg Tiede, a senior program officer in the AAUP's Department of Academic Freedom, Tenure, and Governance.

In a divisive political climate that has led to increased targeted harassment of faculty, being organized and informed has never been more important. The discussion will cover threats presented by right-wing organizations like Turning Point USA, and will offer a brief overview of academic freedom in the age of Trump. Monica will offer advice on some organizing best practices for faculty that is applicable to the current environment.
