Savannah Wu '20 MSUP will facilitate the conversation.

Over the past 4 months, Hester Street has drawn from their deep experience engaging with communities to develop tools and tactics that they hope will sharpen the focus on the means by which society can achieve more just ends. Nisha and Betsy will share some of this recent work as fodder for discussion.

Register through Engage (listed under Workshops).

A Zoom link will be sent to all registrants.
NOTE: Registration closes 2 hours prior to the event.
