DESCRIPTION:BCRW has long been interested in supporting social justice movements that 
 reach beyond the limits of traditional feminist activism. In past 
 semesters, we have hosted programs that have taken up a variety of 
 intersectional projects that join feminist activism and analysis with other 
 progressive movements, including reproductive justice, workplace rights 
 across the economic spectrum, and the links between sexual and economic 
 justice, to name a few. This panel on New Feminist Activism will explore 
 how young feminist activists are engaging with struggles for justice in 
 areas such as education, the environment, and race and class. By using new 
 forms of media and building alliances, these activists (and many others 
 like them) are creating a strand of feminist activism that is fundamentally 
 concerned with social justice and social change.  Panelists include: Mia 
 Herndon, Executive Director of the Third Wave Foundation, a feminist, 
 activist foundation that works nationally to support young women and 
 transgender youth; Ai-jen Poo, Lead Organizer at Domestic Workers United, 
 an organization working for fair labor standards for nannies, housekeepers, 
 and other domestic workers in New York; and Rinku Sen, President and 
 Executive Director of the Applied Research Center, a racial justice think 
 tank and home for media and activism, publisher of Color Lines magazine, 
 and the author of Stir It Up: Lessons in Community Organizing and The 
 Accidental American: Immigration and Citizenship in the Age of 
 Globalization. \n\n
