Why Challenging Neoliberalism is a Humanist Endeavour - Iona Soper

Iona Soper is from SANE - Solidarity Against Neoliberal Extremism. It is a collective which seeks to highlight and challenge the damaging impacts of neoliberal policies on Glasgow’s local communities.

This meeting will explore the what we mean by Neoliberalism and look at the relationships between anti-capitalist values and the values of Humanism, drawing on social and political philosophies and experiences of local and national campaigns. The meeting will look at ways to build on our own understandings of what it means to take a stand, how we uphold our values in the ways we try to make change, and how these values inform our visions for a brighter future. Participants will be invited to reflect on their own journeys with Humanism or with campaigning and to discuss how their values inform their activities

The meeting will be chaired by Cathy Crawford.
