Please join the Scholarly Engagement and Access Committee (SEAC) on April 3, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. EDT for an online discussion of Dean Spade’s Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (And The Next). We will discuss selections from the book as a starting point for how our Society might incorporate mutual aid principles and practices as we chart ways forward. Discussion topics will include community development, contributing resources in kind, and developing new sources of support for academic projects.
We recommend that members purchase the book and read the text in full; two selections (pp. 9-20, 65-118) will be the particular focus of our discussion. Should you wish to purchase the book, please note that the Verso website is only taking preorders for a forthcoming new edition, but the previous edition we are working from is available from other sellers.
For the Zoom link, please email angie.calcaterra@gmail.com.
We look forward to this conversation!
