Fascism or Eco-populism - Our Stark Choice

The UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy is pleased to present author and journalist Naomi Klein, Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia, who will deliver the third annual Distinguished Lecture in Ideas and Organizing entitled, Fascism or Eco-Populism - Our Stark Choice. Join us for this in-person program at the historic UCLA Nimoy Theater that will inspire us to think about climate justice in relation to the political economy of global warfare and imperialism.

A discussion moderated by Institute Founding Faculty Director Ananya Roy will follow, with Klein joined by UCLA scholars Hannah Appel and Kian Goh.
