Why the Open University at Occupy Cal?: Coalitions and the Open Classroom
How can we think about the classroom and the University as spaces to build coalitional politics? How can we link questions of sexuality, immigration status, age, disability, race, gender, and class in our political actions?

As one of the organizers of the Open University I want to thank you for posting this.
ReplyDeleteWe are calling this project the Open University @ Occupy Cal. This is because we proposed such a project to the General Assembly of Occupy Cal and gained their unanimous support. And because we feel like this project is not formally affiliated with University of California at Berkeley. Lastly we feel that this form should be a useable template and model for future Open Universities @ every occupy campus. So for future reference, the name - Open University @ Occupy Cal - is important to us. Thanks.
In struggle,
Michael
