# Politics and Social Change Workshop ## expand\_more **This seminar is open to the public. This seminar is on hiatus for the 2025–2026 academic year.** This seminar explores the intersections of politics and society. Past seminar topics include the cultural impacts of social movements, political responsibility in a globalized world, the politicization of education, and linkages between transnational and local political organizations. Scholars in our community span a variety of disciplines and explore a broad range of actors and processes at the local, national, and transnational levels.
