Seminar Series with David Hogg: Lessons from the Movement for Gun Reform

Join David Hogg, AB ‘23, president of Leaders We Deserve, for a four-part seminar series that will explore several facets of creating successful social movements.

In this interactive series, students will learn foundational skills and strategies for launching and sustaining the gun reform movement and will have opportunities to test these skills. Each session will be augmented by short readings and live practice using the tools gained in the lesson and students will also hear from David’s personal experience in launching a nationwide social movement.

All sessions will be held from 12-1:30 on the following dates:

• Friday, March 22 – Story of self, us, and now
• Friday, April 5 – Resilience and courage in the gun reform movement
• Wednesday, April 17 – Conflict resolution inside and outside the gun reform movement
• Friday, April 26 – The future: Planning part of the gun reform movement/ project management

Because the program depends upon interactive discussions and will be capped, we particularly encourage registrants who will be able to attend all sessions.

Applications are open to current Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard University degree students. Space is limited. Registrants will be notified via email if their application is successful, and the location will be included in the confirmation email.

This seminar series is cosponsored by the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard Kennedy School and the Institute of Politics at Harvard University.
