Date:

April 11, 2008 -April 13, 2008 

Location:

A Conference at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities

Full Description:

This conference has been collectively organized by graduate students to bring together thinkers from across the campus community and national academic community to address the "crisis" of the university as it had continually been transformed by neoliberal forces. The recent AFSCME strike at the University of Minnesota and other academic labor struggles continue to expose the university in crisis, yet we need to further develop both our intellectual and organizational capacities to effectively address these crises.

This conference will take place over three days. Friday will focus generally on questions of neoliberalization and corporatization of higher education and the casualization of academic labor. Saturday and Sunday will look at questions of alternatives, including campus labor organizing, radical pedagogy, and other strategies of resistance.
