Fight/Build! Maroon Spaces and Real Black Utopias
Director of Applied Research and Strategic Partnerships, Social Justice Initiative – University of Illinois at Chicago
We take a turn toward worker cooperatives in this episode, and what is variously called the solidarity economy, community wealth-building, or economic democracy. We explore the power of learning participatory democracy through struggle and collective action with a brilliant scholar/activist/teacher and guide, Stacey Sutton, an Associate Professor in the Department of Urban Planning and Policy, and Director of Applied Research and Strategic Partnerships at UIC’s Social Justice Initiative.
Featured Poem:
