Join professor Ira Allen as he presents his book, Panic Now?!, at Brightside bookshop on Thursday, October 17 at 6 PM. His work examines ways we can respond to the polycrises of war, climate change and the societal breakdown of the 21st century even when we are not directly in charge of creating and implementing broad ranging policy decisions. Is there a way that ordinary people can panic wisely, by pursuing new solidarities, novel social forms, and archaic ways of doing in order to create resilient adaptations for every day existence? Come and discuss!
