Lunch and Anarchist Studies

I just got away from the office for a bit for a delicious lunch with my friend Jared, a young punk, dedicated anarchist, and absolute romantic. Struggling with the loss of my cousin has been difficult and spending a bit of time with a young, dreamy, struggling intellectual with heart felt good. Jared talked of his struggles but also spoke of his quest for community. As a young intellectual, part train hopper part aspirant academic, I thought he'd be interested in going to Renewing the Anarchist Tradition put on by The Institute for Anarchist Studies. His eyes lit up when he found out about the event and the IAS and he said he'd go. For those who've never been, RAT is an incredibly supportive event for anti-authoritarians and anarchists who are interested in developing anarchist theory, history, and academic work.
