In 2017, Samir Gandesha and Stephen Collis (SFU Institute for Humanities) organized a Free School on Fascism to discuss rising authoritarianisms in the world. All talks were open to public, and took place at the heart of downtown Vancouver, in either UNIT/PITT Projects or Selector Records. Not only has it been most informative intellectually, but it also built a collectivity to discuss what could be done to understand and fight the mushrooming authoritarian regimes.
