About this event
The Strother School of Radical Attention (SoRA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to “attention activism:” the movement to push back against the fracking of human attention by coercive digital technologies. SoRA advances this mission through the study and practice of radical attention—diverse forms of attention which resist commodification. Through seminar courses, experiential Attention Lab workshops, and other hybrid forms of group teaching and learning, SoRA seeks to deepen our shared understanding of attention's relation to human flourishing. Created by D. Graham Burnett and Peter Schmidt, their goal is a future where every person is equipped to give their attention freely to each other and the world. The Strother School of Radical Attention has been featured in articles by the New York Times, the Guardian, Chicago Review of Books, the Washington Post, the Paris Review, and more.
