DESCRIPTION:We’re back at it again with a series of seminars The Isms of March as 
 part of our Thinking Critically about Society series. We’ll be joined by 
 CSU Monterey Bay professors, local poets, and critically thinkers just like 
 you to help tackle some of the different ideologies and theories that 
 we’ve been hearing about. \n   \nFriday 16 March – 7pm: Understanding 
 Neoliberalism\nFacilitated by Sriya Shrestha\n\nIn this seminar, we will 
 discuss Neoliberalism, a term for the economic, culture, and social shifts 
 that have occurred in the United States and abroad since the 1970s. Over 
 the last few decades, people all over the world have felt the intense 
 impacts of a changing global economy. Deindustrialization has left once 
 thriving manufacturing communities abandoned and struggling. Wages and 
 benefits for working and even middle-class people have largely stagnated as 
 employment has increasingly become temporary and unstable. Limited 
 opportunities for upward mobility have become even more compromised by 
 decrease in funding for both primary and higher education leading to 
 enormous tuition rises at public universities. Right and left leaning 
 governments have slashed basic services like welfare benefits, affordable 
 housing, and public transportation. Policing and punishment systems have 
 become increasingly punitive, and once abandoned communities have become 
 battlegrounds between wealthy developers and poor residents. Most of us 
 have been impacted by one or more of these shifts, in this seminar we will 
 contextualize these issues within a set of global trends that have fostered 
 inequality and wide-spread social unrest all over the world.\n\nReadings 
 available soon.\n\nAll readings available for free at
