A Discussion of Mike Wilson’s book, What Side Are You On?, with Professor Felicity Amaya Schaeffer
December 4 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Join us for a discussion of Mike Wilson’s book What Side Are You On? with Professor Felicity Amaya Schaeffer on Wednesday, December 4th, from 4:00-6:00pm at Merrill Provost’s House, Public Living Room. Light refreshments will be provided.
Mike Wilson is a dedicated humanitarian and co-author of What Side Are You On? with Dr. Jose Antonio Lucero. His work addresses the intersections of poverty, racism, and colonialism, with a focus on migrant rights and humanitarian aid along the border. Known for establishing water stations for migrants on tribal lands, Mike’s advocacy often places him at odds with both the U.S. government and his own Indigenous community. His recent book offers a profound examination of these critical issues.
Felicity Amaya Schaeffer is Professor of the Feminist Studies Department and the Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Department, as well as an Affiliate Faculty in Latin American and Latinx Studies at UC Santa Cruz.
Co-sponsored by the UCSC History Department, the Feminist Studies Department, the Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Department, the Latin American and Latino Studies Department, the Dolores Huerta Research Center for the Americas, the Peggy And Jack Baskin Foundation, Cowell College, Merrill College, Porter College, Rachel Carson College, Stevenson College, and the Council of Provosts.
