October 29, 2015: Alain Touraine
Renowned French sociologist, Alain Touraine, visited the University of Southern California this week, engaging in 2 talks with faculty and students. Touraine is most well known as the originator of the term "post-industrial society", and has written over 45 books on sociology and social movements.
His lecture at USC stressed the importance of human dignity above all else; that social movements in this era of our society will be wise to focus not on political, social, or moral issues, but on issues that define universal human rights.
