Worldmaking: Unlocking a Racially Just World
Building a racially just world will require all of us. At the Worldworking Beyond SOAS Conference (July 13 and 14th), JASS joins academics, students, creatives, thinkers, and social justice movements to imagine and construct racial justice strategies for a more liberated world.
