Struggling toward the People's University: College Student Resistance and Encampment-Based Protest

Center for Urban Education, University of Pittsburgh
Join us for panel discussions, study groups, workshops, and other engaging conversations that examine this year's theme, "The Liberation of Cities: Urban Education in Pittsburgh."
With this theme, we look more closely at the project of urban education through liberatory praxes and situate this knowledge within City of Pittsburgh contexts – sociopolitical, economic, and historical.

Struggling toward the People's University: College Student Resistance and Encampment-Based Protest
Tuesday, June 18 | 11:30 a.m. - 12:45 p.m.
Virtual
More than 100 college campuses, mostly in the U.S., are experiencing demonstrations and encampments, resulting in violent student arrests, suspensions, and expulsions. In the spirit of discourse and dialogue, this session facilitated by Chris Wright (PhD student, University of Pittsburgh) situates higher education as a site of urban education to raise critical questions about war, liberation, and the purposes education should serve. Participants derive from colleges and universities across the country.
