Greater technological connectivity has not spawned a new era of cross-border cooperation. Efforts to address our common challenges—including climate change, global health, poverty, and war—will require new forms of transnational solidarity and action. How did we arrive at this moment of global fragmentation? Can movements for environmental, racial, economic, and gender justice generate effective common concern and action across borders? How can our diverse cultural and spiritual traditions contribute to efforts to make global humanity and what Pope Francis has called “our common home” a shared frame of reference? Verónica Gago, Ranjit Hoskote, Kohei Saito, Peter Beinart, and Joel Hellman will be exploring these questions in a conversation moderated by Lydia Polgreen. This event is part of the Georgetown Global Dialogues, which feature leading intellectuals from the Global South in forward-looking conversations with U.S.-based thinkers across a range of topics. It is co-sponsored by the Georgetown Humanities Initiative and the Global Human Development Program at Georgetown University.
