SUMMARY:Living Democracy Talk: What We Can Do For Each Other
DESCRIPTION:One of the greatest threats against democracy and justice is indolence–defined as a form of militant indifference based on the lack of empathy for the suffering of others. Cristina Rivera Garza will explore how taking part in and contributing to transnational emotional communities in Mexico and the U.S.\, many based on shared experiences of social suffering and the grieving that comes with it\, may help us leap out of ourselves and into the heart of the bond we share with human and non-human beings alike.
