That is, old or young, regardless of where they live, their faith, and whether they are male or female, gay or straight, and regardless of their skin color they have the same universal rights, including their rights to their own particular cultures. SSF also promotes an understanding that collective goods, including a sustainable environment, cannot be privatized. Proposal Demographicsidentify as women Session DescriptionAcademic Activist Dialogues will join sociologists, scholar-activists, and researchers with national and grassroots activist organizations. We are primarily concerned with integrating academics, scholars, and students into the social forum process by working with grassroots organizations. This event will bring together sociologists who study social movements such as peace movements and indigenous rights movements and scholars who focus on race, class, and gender inequalities and the work-family nexus in the United States with activists organizations so that we can strategize and create processes for greater colloboration toward building another world.
