I hope you’re doing OK. To say it’s been a hard year is only to demonstrate the insufficiency of language. Through so much pain, many days the most we can wish for is that the darkness around us is not of the tomb but of the womb. That orientation toward regeneration reminds us of Arundhati Roy's hope for the pandemic as a portal; a critical rupture that, “we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world. And ready to fight for it.” Yet everyday, declarations of great change couple with re-solidification of old inequities. How does social change actually happen? What is your role? We’ll be taking up those kinds of questions this week at the Haverford College Center for Peace and Global Citizenship, as we work with students selected for summer internships on just a few of the dozens of learning modules in the Global Solidarity, Local Actions Toolkit.
