Petitioning, art-making, twitter-threading & more – what are the different vehicles that allow us to participate in civil society, and how might they interact and evolve with each other to affect change? Join Ethos Books for a panel with Constance Singam, Dana Lam, Mysara Aljaru and Rachel Tey, moderated by Jolene Tan as they discuss what it means to participate in civil society at different levels, and through different mediums and roles: How can examining the multitude ways of doing civil society work – from the women’s rights movements in the 1980s to anti-racist and climate crisis campaigns of the 2020s – inform a way forward for us as collective, concerned citizenry?
This is a ticketed Zoom conversation, with all proceeds from ticket sales going to the speakers. Ethos Books will upload a recording of this conversation available at a later date (est. 2-3 months after the event) to provide public access for those who wish to attend but are unable to.
Meeting in the Middle is an annual women-led conversation organised by Ethos Books as part of International Women's Day. These conversations focus on various intersections of identities, expertise and literature.
