IAS Thursdays: (In)Justice
The University of Minnesota IAS Thursdays series presented by the Institute for Advanced Study brings together scholars, artists, activists, and community leaders to discuss the most pressing issues of our time. The 2023–2024 series will focus on exploring different visions for what justice might look like. Featured guests will offer different lenses to approach today’s social problems, and together we will gain a deeper understanding of how to build a better future and a more just world.
All IAS Thursday events are free, open to the public, and include audience Q&A sessions. Events are professionally captioned.
