Join us on Thursday, November 20, 2025 from 1:00 to 2:00 PM in The Cooper Union Library for a long table discussion regarding the relevance of the humanities and social sciences overall, and Black Studies in particular, to understand how knowledge production, cultural infrastructure, and the various ways these archives are cared for and shared can help us conceive of markets where offers are made and needs are met day to day.

To honor this tradition, a tabling event will follow in the Civic Projects Lab from 3:00 - 6:00 PM. Tablers will come with 3 opportunities for and 3 needs they can share with the Cooper community.

 

 

 

Registration on EventBrite is required. However, an EventBrite ticket does not guarantee entry as this is a first-come-first-served free event.

Located at 7 East 7th Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues
