Tonight: A Tipsy Teach In brought to you by Caroli Tonight: A Tipsy Teach In brought to you by Carolina Migrant Network. Think TED Talk meets happy hour—it’s all about diving deep into powerful, timely topics in a setting that’s anything but stiff or academic.
Join us or for an evening of intellectual stimulation and casual connection. The star of the night is Tina Shull, PhD, a guest professor and author who will unpack the critical history and impact of immigrant incarceration based on her book “Detention Empire: Who Built It and How We Can Dismantle It.”

The tagline says it all: “Serious topics, big conversations, no lecture-hall vibe.” It’s a night for community, learning, and liberation—served with a twist (literally and figuratively).

🎟️ It’s also a fundraiser, with proceeds supporting the Carolina Migrant Network’s vital work—advocating for immigrant justice. Drinks, discussion, and dismantling oppressive systems? Yes, please.
