a social space for open communication about work and life at the U of MN
Continuing the discussion from our 4th Meeting (on _Academic Capitalism_)
Here are the questions and issues that we thought were important:
What are the political stakes/pressure points?
--How do the multiple roles we all play in the university structure our opportunities for resistance?
--Where are the (existing) GOOD networks (that we can exploit)
What's missing between the input-output transition? (creation of consumer and benefactor)
Training vs. Education
How grad student do/do not perpetuate this model?
Game of big power and fame
Given this economic model, what can unions do?
....
To continue our discussion, please reply to this post with any responses to these questions, anything we talked about in the last meeting, or any other questions or comments.
