Public Knowing, Public Change

We find ourselves in a historical moment defined and structured by interconnected challenges: social inequality, environmental degradation, labor precarity, political violence, repression, and more. Understanding the root and contours of these issues, working against these conditions, and building towards a more equitable future requires honoring and nurturing a wide range of knowledge, skills, and experiences.
