Occupy University is a university for everyone, run by the Occupy movement. We believe that learning should be collaborative and politically empowering. WHAT WE’RE DOING
We’re going to help people to set up courses on all sorts of topics, in many neighborhoods throughout the New York area. If this sounds like something you’d like to be involved in, get in touch! Email us at [email protected] or fill out our contact form. HOW WE’RE DOING IT
With the help of brilliant, fascinating, motivated people like you! Would you like to learn something? Would you like to teach something? We’re looking for thoughtful and intelligent proposals for great educational activities of all kinds – classes, courses, walking tours, reading groups, apprenticeships… whatever you’re excited about. If you’d like to suggest a class, or would just like to take one, please email us at [email protected]. Or perhaps you’d like to help us build our University? If so, we encourage you to join our Occupy University Working Group. You’ll be very welcome! The Occupy University Working Group usually meets on Saturday afternoons, from 2:30-6:30, at the New School (check nycga.net for up-to-date info, or email OccU to join the listserv). WHY WE’RE DOING IT
The Occupy movement has inspired many of us to question the way education proceeds in our society – and to try to do something about it. We have many thoughts on this, and we’d love to hear yours, too.
