Lecture

Join us for the second event in the 2024 Henry Cohen Lecture Series featuring a panel discussion with historian and author Dr. Keisha Blain, Institute Senior Fellow Nina Turner, and additional thought leaders on Dr. Blain's recently released book, "Wake Up America: Black Women on the Future of Democracy." This exhilarating anthology of original essays brings together the voices of major progressive Black women politicians, grassroots activists, and intellectuals to offer critical insights on how we can create a more equitable political future.

Join us on Tuesday, April 2 at The New School for the third conversation in the 2024 Henry Cohen Lecture series—A New Agenda for Health and Wellbeing—which will explore how we can build an economy that enables all people, regardless of their identity, to have the resources to experience health, wellbeing, and dignity.

Join us for an address by His Excellency Mr. Dennis Francis, President of the 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, followed by a dialogue with Professor Darrick Hamilton, Founder of the Institute on Race, Power and Political Economy. The evening will explore the opportunities and challenges of multilateralism for advancing peace, prosperity, progress, and sustainability.

Join us as Natalie Foster, Deepak Bhargava, Chris Hughes, and Darrick Hamilton discuss strategies on how to create economic systems that are fair, just, and affirmatively inclusive—with a focus on investing in people. This event is part of the 2024 Henry Cohen Lecture Series.
