DESCRIPTION:Robert Jensen takes us: Beyond Elections - Sustaining Our Commitments to 
 Justice and Sustainability  \n\nMany in the United States -- and around the 
 world -- are rightly celebrating the coming end of eight years of 
 reactionary rule in Washington. But politics is more than elections. Where 
 should people concerned with social justice and ecological sustainability 
 focus our attention during the Obama administration? What long-term vision 
 should inform our short-term choices? Writer and activist Robert Jensen 
 will discuss how we should analyze the contemporary problems we face, 
 articulate a vision for the future, and act on those ideas in the coming 
 year. \n\nRobert Jensen is a journalism professor at the University of 
 Texas at Austin and board member of the Third Coast Activist Resource 
 Center. His latest book, All My Bones Shake, will be published in 2009 by 
 Soft Skull Press. He also is the author of Getting Off: Pornography and the 
 End of Masculinity (South End Press, 2007); The Heart of Whiteness: 
 Confronting Race, Racism and White Privilege (City Lights, 2005); Citizens 
 of the Empire: The Struggle to Claim Our Humanity (City Lights, 2004); and 
 Writing Dissent: Taking Radical Ideas from the Margins to the Mainstream 
 (Peter Lang, 2002). \n\n$5 - $10 suggested donation; sponsored by Peninsula 
 Peace and Justice Center.\n\n
