Student Movements and the Neoliberal University

This discussion will take stock of the history of student movements in and against the University of California. Chua will cover a short history about the public university and its neo-liberalization over the last half-century, as well as how the university represses and seeks to discipline student movements. We will then have a discussion about student movements on campus using structured questions about ongoing campus campaigns for social justice.
