Runs May 3 – June 8, 2008
Hennepin History Museum

Under the direction of Prof. Tasoulla Hadjiyanni, third-year Interior Design students responded to the needs of Mexicans, one of the Twin Cities’ largest immigrant groups, as well as the Ojibwe people, one of Minnesota’s largest Native groups. Trained to provide for human welfare through the design of interior environments, the students created culturally sensitive design solutions, i.e. residential designs that support diverse ways of living. At the same time, on the conceptual level the designs speak of ‘what does it mean to be a Mexican or an Ojibwe?’

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.
