This panel explores what it means to be anti-imperialist, examining imperialism as a global system with military, economic, and cultural dimensions.

Speakers will trace its historical roots, ongoing manifestations, and Britain’s entanglement within it. The discussion will highlight U.S. imperial tactics including trade agreements, sanctions, debt, coups, interventions, and cultural hegemony in order to build deeper understanding across geographical contexts.
