The Third World Feminism vs. Authoritarian Nationalism: Dilemmas and Contradictions by Dr. Durba Mitra
2026-04-07 13:00 - 14:15 (America/New_York) | Eager Auditorium, Sullivan # 146
What happens when international platforms both empower and exclude? And what can this history teach us about resisting authoritarian nationalism today?
Dr. Mitra traces the rise of internationalism focused on women from powerful gatherings of Third World women at UN conferences, showing how internationalism offered alternatives to postcolonial authoritarian regimes. Yet, as these spaces expanded, many decolonial feminist visions were sidelined.
Dr. Durba Mitra is the author of “The Future That Was: A History of Third World Feminism Against Authoritarianism.”

Storytelling for Left Populism against Authoritarian Drift: Zohran Mamdani and AOC by Dr. Michael Illuzzi
2026-04-14 13:00 - 14:15 | Blue Lounge (First Floor), Student Center
What if politics isn’t just about policies – but the stories that bring people together?
Dr. 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.

Manufacturing Illegality: Borders, Nationalism, and Our Current Authoritarian Moment by Harsha Walia
2026-04-16 13:00 - 14:15 | https://worcester.zoom.us/j/97497201473?jst=2
What’s really behind today’s immigration crackdowns?
Harsha Walia situates the current horrors of immigration violence, including ICE raids and mass deportations in the U.S., within a long arc of bipartisan immigration enforcement and exclusion. Drawing on an internationalist and abolitionist politics, Walia emphasizes the urgent necessity of abolishing border imperialism through transnational solidarities.
Harsha Walia is the author of “Border and Rule: Global Migration, Capitalism, and the Rise of Racist Nationalism” and Organizer of No One is Illegal
