March 4 - March 8, 2023
The Marcon Institute is founded on love as envisioned by bell hooks. This March 4-8th, we are proud to be hosting our inaugural Radical Love Conference, modeled on hooks’ understanding of the transformative power of love. Each day will have a specific theme with corresponding conversations and events. These conversations are opportunities to act with love and build a community in which we all feel we belong, wherein our contributions and differences are valued. We hope everyone will leave with a stronger belief in love and a credible commitment to antiracist actions based on care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect, and trust. More details including registration links can be found below.
