How do we understand racial, gendered capitalism through a global and historical lens? Is this the era of “techno-feudalism”? Is capitalism dead, dying, or evolving? How do new technologies, the climate crisis, carceral systems, hyper-surveillance, and financialization shape 21st-century capitalism? How do race, gender, sexuality, disabilities, and other identity markers impact society? These questions and more will frame this discussion. We will also explore the looming threat of authoritarianism, including how real it is and what its implications are.
