An online lecture and in-depth discussion with Riane Eisler
Friday, November 18 at 6pm EST
Systems scientist, cultural historian, and futurist Riane Eisler will address the urgent question of why despite some forward movement, there have been so many regressions to authoritarianism, violence, and domination worldwide. Drawing from her multidisciplinary, cross-cultural, trans-historical research she will focus on four cornerstones on which these regressions have continued to rebuild themselves, and how we can change this.
