Humanities on Tap: Joyful Advocacy in Troubled Times
Discover how to ditch the burnout, find your people and trade overwhelming "shoulds" for advocacy that actually brings you joy!
Do you feel committed to positive change but paralyzed by the magnitude of crises and harms? Harried and overwhelmed by competing calls to action? Exhausted and disconnected from the meaning of your efforts? Join Ashley Hope Pérez (OSU Associate Professor of Comparative Studies) for some inspiration and practical strategies for cultivating advocacy that is a joy to sustain.
Dr. Pérez draws on her experiences responding to censorship since 2021, when her novel Out of Darkness became one of the most banned books in the United States. She’ll share the lessons she learned in the process and how she continues to orient toward passions and sources of joy (and let go of shame and “shoulds”).
Humanities on Tap (HoT) is a monthly series of community events that bring the humanities to life across Columbus. Join us to explore big ideas, hear fresh perspectives and connect with friends. Led by local experts and storytellers, these talks are engaging, approachable and social—perfect for curious minds throughout our community.
