📚 Lecture: “The Age of Rage: Understanding Modern Movements”
🗣 Speaker: Professor Carlo Accetti
Over the past two and a half decades, the West has witnessed waves of mass protest and collective frustration: from the anti-globalization movement of the early 2000s to the rise of Trumpism, passing through Jihadist terrorism, Occupy Wall Street, Brexit, the #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter movements, as well as the anti-vaccine protests during the Covid 19 Pandemic. Despite their diverse actors and goals, these outbursts share a common thread: growing anger toward institutions. Carlo Invernizzi-Accetti will explore why such animosity persists despite unprecedented material prosperity and civil rights gains, delving into the underlying forces that shape today’s “Zeitgeist” and illuminating potential paths forward for society.
Carlo Invernizzi Accetti is Professor of Political Science and Executive Director of the Moynihan Center at The City College of New York. He is also a regular commentator on European and US political affairs for venues including the New York Times, The Financial Times, The Guardian, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, The Wall Street Journal, La Repubblica, La Stampa, Le Monde Diplomatique, and France 24.
Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the connection between most recent movements with the insightful Professor Carlo Invernizzi Accetti.
