Vanessa Vaile from Precarious Faculty and I were discussing this the other day, and she sent me a list of all possible intersections. It is amazing -- when we think about this -- how all topics tie in together:
poverty, public education, workplace, immigration, refugees, globalization, austerity, discrimination, race, gender, religion, neo-colonialism, neo-liberal economics, consumption and consumerism ~ even sustainability and environmental issues because those too are driven by economic inequality and consumption.
So I am sharing with you here — as Vanessa shared with me — two lists of articles on social justice, poverty, and basic income.
Look through them: read, and become aware of the ties that bind. Even though we may never fully understand, we at least may begin to know when we see... Memphis is rich with murals: this one is of day laborers... © Ana M. Fores Tamayo |
