If the workers of the world want to win, all they have to do is recognize their own solidarity. They have nothing to do but fold their arms and the world will stop. The workers are more powerful with their hands in their pockets than all the property of the capitalists. --Joe Ettor (IWW labor organizer)

She is currently working on a book entitled Imperialism in the Making of U.S. Law. Farnia has published in a wide range of academic journals and popular media outlets, including the Stanford Law Review, UCLA Women’s Law Journal, Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, Geopolitical Economy Report, and the San Francisco Chronicle, among others. She currently serves as the Secretary of the American Association of Law Schools Section on Law & the Humanities and is the Co-Chair of the International People’s Tribunal on US Imperialism: Sanctions, Blockades, and Economic Coercive Measures.
As the contradictions of capitalism mount and the challenge to imperialism represented by China, Russia and the majority of the world that continues cooperation with them gains momentum, dominant views of the world order are also challenged. Seeking to expose the ideological basis of the resulting debates, the speakers in this webinar will clarify how the primary contradiction today is between a US-led Western imperialism and the projects of anti-imperialist sovereign reclamation it aims to contain. In doing so, the webinar will draw out a distinction between the structural foundations of imperialist and anti-imperialist world-making projects.
