Taking Ourselves Seriously: Strategizing toward Social Transformation
This event is a little down the road, so we might post a reminder closer to the actual date, but everyone in the NYC area should clear their calendars on October 18th. Four board members of the Institute for Anarchist Studies will be holding a panel discussion at Bluestockings bookstore. Knowing the folks involved, I’d guess it will be a productive and worthwhile event.

Taking Ourselves Seriously: Strategizing toward Social Transformation
Panel with IAS board members Josh MacPhee, Cindy Milstein, Maia Ramnath, and Joshua Stephens
Sunday, October 18, at 7 p.m.

Anarchism, by name or in terms of the ethics and forms of organization it espouses, is the dominant tendency today in radical circles. Yet anarchists seem to almost revel in staying marginal, rarely taking themselves and their ideas as seriously as others do. This panel will discuss potential anarchist strategies for the long haul of social transformation, including the possibilities and limitations that presently exist as we work toward an egalitarian, directly democratic society.
