What do anti-racist movements in the United States have in common with similar struggles in other parts of the world? Join UCSD Professor of History Daniel Widener for a lively discussion of his new book: "Third Worlds Within: Multiethnic Movements and Transnational Solidarity". Audience Q&A will follow. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing. Widener expands conceptions of the struggle for racial justice by reframing antiracist movements in the U.S. in an international context. What connects seemingly disparate groups in their own local and global struggles? How does the fight against racism unfolds both locally and globally and creates new forms of solidarity? What is the strategic role played by US communities of color in efforts to defeat the conjoined forces of international capitalism, racism, and imperialism?

Are we all just squirrels trying to get a nut? Professor Steven Barbone of SDSU’s Philosophy Department leads a 50th anniversary discussion of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert Pirsig, one of the most influential books of the past half century and the bestselling philosophical book of all time. A summer motorcycle trip across the American West undertaken by a father and his son, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a personal and philosophical odyssey into fundamental questions of how to live. Can a parent’s ferocious love for their child counter the everyday confusions of existence? Might the care for a technological object like a motorcycle lead to clarity? And when is a motorcycle not a motorcycle? Philosophy Talk is an occasional series of library presentations designed as a fun opportunity to connect the richness of philosophical thought to everyday life.

AjA’s Civil Liberties Project aims to remember this history through art while drawing parallels to the injustices happening today. Come view this art exhibit at Ocean View Growing Grounds, commemorating the erased history of San Diego’s Japanese American communities and its ties to the current humanitarian crises happening locally and internationally. Come join us for an afternoon of art, conversation, food, poetry, and mutual aid. Engage in direct collective action by making care packages for migrants and raising money for San Diego mutual aid groups. For more information visit: theajaproject.org Stay Connected on Instagram
