Radical Academics in Neoliberal University Inc: Experiences and Horizons
Join us for an evening of talks, screenings, discussions and a late evening
social at the Square Social Centre, London WC1 (Russell Square) Wednesday
24th of May, 6-11pm.
The event’s key speaker will be David Graeber, Assistant Professor of
Anthropology at Yale University. Graeber is the author of Toward an
Anthropological Theory of Value (1991) and Fragments of an Anarchist
Anthropology (2004), which can be downloaded for free from
http://www.prickly-paradigm.com/paradigm14.pdf . Yale has controversially
refused to renew Graeber’s contract*: This is just one of many recent
examples of universities across the UK and the US being driven by a strict
corporate logic, leaving less space for alternative, radical voices to be
heard. Using the opportunity of David Graeber's visit to the UK we
are organising an event to discuss the experiences, horizons and prospects
of radical academics working in Neoliberal University Inc today; to find
out more about repression against them and how we can help; but also to
learn from each other’s positive experiences, strengthen our links and
discuss alternative educational structures!
Speakers to include:
David Graeber (Yale University, US)
Massimo De Angelis (University of East London, UK)
Ed Emery (Universitas adversitatis, tbc)
Charles Thorpe (UCL, tbc)

This event is free and open to all.
