SUMMARY:Storytelling for Left Populism against Authoritarian Drift: Zohran Mamdani and AOC by Dr. Michael Illuzzi
DESCRIPTION:What if politics isn’t just about policies – but the stories that bring people together? \nDr. Illuzzi explores the rise of Zohran Mamdani and how his storytelling redefines community\, identity\, and power. Moving beyond traditional nation-state-centric narratives\, Mamdani builds a bold\, city-centered vision that connects diverse groups through shared experiences of struggle and hope. By comparing his approach with figures like AOC\, this talk reveals how political stories mobilize people – and why they matter in today’s era of rising authoritarianism.
