Rich Wood co-led a national virtual conference of scholars and teachers of community organizing, designed to brainstorm ways of teaching undergraduate courses that link social theory, scholarly research, and the practical skills of organizing in ways that help a rising generation of young leaders address the challenges facing American democracy. The 53 participants in the half-day conference included faculty from community colleges, public universities, religious seminaries, and elite universities, along with professional organizers from a variety of groups. They focused on how scholarly research and higher education can better lay the intellectual groundwork for reshaping democratic institutions in more anti-racist and egalitarian directions. Co-sponsored by the Taubman Center on American Politics and Policy (Brown University) and UNM’s Southwest Institute on Religion, Culture, and Society.
