Workshop Description

In an era where multinational corporations act in the capacity of governments, how can we teach to resist corporate rule and create authentic democracy? The global justice movement has captured the attention of a new generation of active young people in the US and people’s struggles worldwide. But this workshop is definitely not a typical presentation about “anti-globalization.” We will begin by uncovering the history of the modern corporation and its rise to power as the dominant institution of the US and the world. Recently there has been an effort to uncover misrepresented and underrepresented histories (those of people of color, women, working people) through education. The struggle against corporate power and for democracy tells a rich and revealing story of US history that is little known but has enormous ramifications for democratic struggle today. Emphasis will be on teaching to teach these materials and we will offer access to tools and materials that can be used in your classroom.
