University of Toronto dis/Orientation 2010
September 13, 2010 to September 17, 2010
Disoriented by globalization? After the G20 summit, it’s easy to feel like we’re traipsing through a 21st century rendition of Orwell’s 1984. Stephen Harper and other global “leaders” say that their policies will resolve the world’s woes, but when we look at the facts, when we listen closely to testimonies from people fighting for rights and dignity, it’s clear current systems of governance are fundamentally unjust.
So, if you’re unsure of what global justice activists are protesting and what we propose, join us for a week of alternative orientation programming at the U of T. From workshops to forums, to parties and performances, dis/Orientation introduces students to political activism, on campus and beyond.
All events are free, wheelchair accessible, and open to everyone!
