Lunch will be provided. She will be giving a talk titled "Rotary Dial Politics in an iPhone World." She will expand on how scholars have developed political theory that is sleeker, more effective, and multi-dimensional, whereas the media, citizens, policy makers still use an old-fashioned, rotary-dialesque politics.

Her next book, Solidarity Politics for Millennials: A Guide to Ending the Oppression Olympics focused on the development of intersectional solidarity as a method of political engagement for individuals, groups and policy practitioners in U.S. politics.
