Description:

Sociologist and author Ruha Benjamin, whose latest book argues that seemingly small efforts can help build a more just and joyful world, will discuss themes from her book Viral Justice: How We Grow the World We Want during a conversation with Dean Bryan Brayboy on Jan. 23. The community-wide event is co-sponsored by the School of Education and Social Policy (SESP) and Northwestern's Institute for Policy Research (IPR).

A highly regarded public speaker, Benjamin's talks have focused on ensuring that AI doesn't deepen historical discrimination and that technological fixes don't become substitutes for wider social change.
