IN-PERSON AND LIVESTREAM EVENT

In-person location: ELEBASH RECITAL HALL
Top leaders of both political parties are promoting economic and social policies that challenge key tenets of neoliberalism, with the stated purpose of centering the welfare of workers over the power of corporations. Where do the parties overlap and diverge, and what are the real prospects for change? As the effects of tariffs, support for unions by the younger generation, and anger at corporate greed all play out, what is the political path forward? And what are the roles of government, community organizations, and corporations?
Speaking to these issues, a panel of experts features Chris Hughes, chair of the Economic Security Project, author of Marketcrafters: The 100-Year Struggle to Shape the American Economy (2025), and a co-founder of Facebook; Leslie McCall, associate director of the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality and Presidential Professor of Sociology and Political Science the CUNY Graduate Center; and Dorian T. Warren, president of Community Change, co-chair of the Economic Security Project, and co-host of the podcast “System Check.” Moderated by Felicia Wong, outgoing president and senior adviser at the Roosevelt Institute.
Presented with the Graduate Center.
A video of this event will be posted a few days later on the Graduate Center YouTube Channel.
