What is Neoliberal Philosophy and Policy, and How Has It Affected Our Lives?

The Guardian recently published an article about Neoliberalism, the political ideology and movement that shaped the last 36 years of decline which afflicted both US and British voters, that is, the 90% of voters who are not part of the protected upper and professional classes.

He Called Me Sexy Baby…But My Name Is Helen, featuring paintings by Helen Maser

The HUB-Robeson Galleries will be hosting He Called Me Sexy Baby…But My Name Is Helen, featuring paintings by Helen Maser, in Art Alley from January 18 – March 2, 2017. A public reception will be held on Tuesday, January 24 from 5:30–7pm.

 

Helen Maser’s work explores themes and ideas through the lens of Audre Lorde’s popular writings, The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle The Master’s House (1984).

For her, the “personal becomes political” as a form of resistance.

This type of mobile timebanking app might help overcome some of the limitations of traditional timebanking, a service that values actions based on the time it takes to produce them, rather than based on money, according to John M.
