Better Questions is an initiative that has emerged out of
conversations between people engaged in either social movement
practices in Dublin and/or thought on radical social change. Our point
of convergence is our recognition that we must develop better
questions about the world around us in order to change it. This
seminar series draws on a wide variety of critical theoretical
perspectives to explore contemporary forms of power and possibilities
for resistance.
The talks will take place fortnightly in Seomra Spraoi from 6.30pm
(for directions see
seomraspraoi.org).
The peoples kitchen will serve food from 8pm
