Cognitive Dissonance, the Radical Imagination, and Changing the World: A Night with the Sense and Solidarity Initiative
Please join us for an evening with Max Haiven and Sarah Stein Lubrano, founders of Sense and Solidarity Initiative, a platform where people who want to radically change the world can learn together and build individual and collective capacity. Building on Sarah's focus on cognitive dissonance and ideology and Max's focus on social movements and the radical imagination, Sense & Solidarity aims to create bridges between critical theory and activism and organizing.
At 4pm, Max and Sarah will each give a short talk about their recent research on the radical imagination and cognitive dissonance respectively and their relevance for organising and activism in our current moment, followed by a Q and A.
At 5pm, there will then be a drinks and snacks reception and attendees will be encouraged to share stories about their own questions and experiences on the topic.
Finally, at 7pm onward we will play a variety of radical board games developed by Max and others. Come for one or all of the parts of the evening, meet others with similar interests, and help us improve both our praxis and our games!
