Rethinking the University: Knowledge, Labor, Value
April 11 – 13, 2008
Free and open to the public
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 has 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. Hopefully this conference will be productive in discussing and thinking through these issues, and bring together a community bound to the university in crisis.
