Organizing, in the fullest sense of the word, offers a way to collaboratively imagine new worlds and cultivate our capacity to work collectively across difference in order to act in concert with other humans and non-humans, technologies and ecologies. While strikes, protests, and other visible forms of collective action capture immediate public attention, they are made possible only by the slower, less visible work of building trust, forming coalitions, and sustaining shared commitments across time. It is this foundational labor \u2013 patient, relational, and often unrecognized \u2013 that Slow Action seeks to illuminate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together with interdisciplinary humanities scholars and community leaders, and with Milwaukee as our touchstone, C21\u2019s 2026\u20132027 programming will ask: How might the humanities help us understand and enact organizing as a form of care? What does it look like to build actionable pathways that are both purposeful and adaptable, rooted in values yet open to change? How do attention and pace shape what is possible \u2013 inside and outside the university \u2013 as we face the most pressing challenges of our time? From knowing to caring to acting, C21 invites you to participate in a year of intentional, collective, and slow work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"uwm-bg-gray uwm-u-py-80\"><div class=\"uwm-l-container--base uwm-l-container--overflow-hidden\">\n<div class=\"uwm-l-row uwm-l-row--4\">\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n<h2 id=\"h-news\" class=\"wp-block-heading heading-separator default\">News<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"uwm-p-posts uwm-c-list--cleanlist uwm-c-list--border uwm-u-mb-40\"><li><figure class=\"post-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/c21\/slow-action-recommended-reading\/\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/c21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/359\/2026\/09\/SD-Recommended-Reading-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Covers of select books recommended by the author of this post.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/c21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/359\/2026\/09\/SD-Recommended-Reading-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/c21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/359\/2026\/09\/SD-Recommended-Reading-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/c21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/359\/2026\/09\/SD-Recommended-Reading-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/c21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/359\/2026\/09\/SD-Recommended-Reading.jpeg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"post-content\"><a class=\"post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/c21\/slow-action-recommended-reading\/\">Slow Action:\u00a0Recommended Reading<\/a><div class=\"post-excerpt\">This week\u2019s edition of&nbsp;Slow Digest&nbsp;is written by former C21 Graduate Fellow Jamee N.
