Join us in NYC for an exclusive two-day seminar exploring the philosophical and political roots of today’s most pressing cultural debates. Open to WYA North America members who have completed WYA’s Certified Training Program and Advocacy Academy, this high-level event is designed for those with a serious interest in promoting WYA’s mission.
This intensive seminar will examine how movements like gender ideology, cancel culture, and identity politics are rooted in 19th-century Marxist theory, evolved through 20th-century postmodernism, and now shape 21st-century political challenges. It will offer participants a chance to sharpen their understanding of the history of ideas and its impact on today’s fight for human dignity.
Dates: October 30–31, 2025 (Thursday and Friday)
Time: 6:30–8:30 PM ET
Venue: WYA Headquarters, New York City
