UW-Green Bay College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences presents the Harvey J. Kaye State of Democracy Speaker Series with special guest Sara Nelson Tuesday, October 26, 2021 at 7 p.m. in Fort Howard Hall of the Weidner Center for Performing Arts. The event is free and open to the public.
Masks are required for anyone attending in person. To join virtually, view the YouTube livestream at this link. The event will include a question and answer session, and will be followed by a reception for Kaye.
Sara Nelson is the International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO since 2014, representing 50,000 of aviation’s first responders at 17 airlines. She made headlines in 2020 in a historic fight to ensure aviation workers retained their paychecks, health care, and other benefits for 16 months during the COVID pandemic, while banning stock buybacks and dividends across the industry and capping executive compensation for two years after the relief period ends.
Named in honor of UW-Green Bay Emeritus Professor and award-winning scholar, The Harvey J. Kaye State of Democracy Speaker Series will consist of four featured speakers each year that span the subject matter and intellectual spirit of UW-Green Bay’s problem-focused mission. Commemorating the public engagement and broad intellectual spirit of Prof. Kaye’s career, future speakers will engage with some of the most urgent questions facing our democracy, including in the fields of workers’ rights, racial inequality, public health, technology, and journalism. This event is made possible by the Rob and Cathy Riordan Family Foundation.
