Recent decades have seen the exciting convergence of anti-authoritarian radicalism and broader-based movements in the U.S. and Canada.  Drawing on interviews with organizers across North America, this event will explore the meaning of “another politics”. Chris Dixon, originally from Anchorage, is a longtime community organizer, writer, and educator with a PhD from the University of California at Santa Cruz. He serves on the board of the Institute for Anarchist Studies and the advisory board for the activist journal Upping the Anti.  He currently lives in Ottawa, Canada, on unceded Algonquin Territory.  His new book is Another Politics: Talking Across Today's Transformative Movements and is published by University of California Press. Chris Dixon's presentation for this event is also posted in iTunes. Note, this event is held in honor of Anchorage icon Ruth Sheridan.
