The Economic Democracy Initiative Research-to-Action series brings scholars, policy makers, and activists into conversation with students to discuss pathways for meaningful social change. The sessions highlight the practical ways speakers have helped to change how we approach social and economic problems. From direct action and organizing, to public writing and speaking, to drafting legislation and other policy documents, the discussions showcase how small steps and bottom-up efforts could potentially lead to big changes.
