NMC’s International Affairs Forum continues its 31st season with an unprecedented event led by NMC students on the IAF Student Leadership Team. Join IAF for “Echoes of Change: The Legacy of Student Activism” at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 17 at the Dennos Museum Center. The guest speaker is Danielle K. Brown, Ph.D., 1855 Community and Urban Journalism Professor and an associate professor in the School of Journalism at Michigan State University.
Brown will discuss the social and political underpinnings of student movements. Her interdisciplinary research focuses on “the cross-sections of journalism, political science, and sociology. She specializes in analyses of media representations and narrative change, social movements and activism, and identity and political psychology.”
As part of this exploration, the IAF Student Leadership Team has interviewed scholars and activists. The team will share curated video interview segments during the live event, interwoven with moderated conversation on stage. Discussion will highlight past student protest movements as well current issues around political activism on campuses across the country.
The April 17 in-person event at the museum is open to the public and available to watch online. At 5:30 p.m., enjoy a reception, explore the Dennos Museum Center galleries and meet the students behind this event. At 6:30 p.m., the program begins in Milliken Auditorium.
