A Cooperative for the Humanities and Social Sciences Workshop Series Event

Mutual aid is the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world, especially

as people around the world are faced with crises such as climate change-induced fires, floods, and storms,

mass incarceration, racist policing, environmental degradation caused by capitalism and severe wealth inequality.

This workshop is to give University of Kentucky’s faculty, staff, students, and Fayette County’s

community members tools for understanding what mutual aid is and why it is important.

This event is sponsored by the Cooperative for the Humanities and Social Sciences and Department of Gender & Women’s Studies
