Roundtable Discussion: ACT UP’s Radical Pedagogy

Join us for a roundtable discussion with Jonathan Alexander, Juli Carson, and James S. Nowick, UCI professors from across disciplines. They come together to explore ACT UP’s legacy of direct action, specifically how it has been a vital force in shaping medical science, pharmaceuticals, literature, art and radical pedagogy. Each scholar will offer insights into how ACT UP's strategies and activism resonate within their own areas of expertise, while considering the ongoing relevance of these approaches in today’s struggles for justice and equity.
