About this Organizational Meeting
On November 26th, the GC library will open its doors to host “A Sit-in at the Library: '68 Revisited,” a free and public forum of exchange concerning the political status and stakes of students today. Initiated by students at the department of theatre and performance, the event seeks to render the political questions that haunt the university more visible, tangible, and social: 50 years after the student movement of '68, what coalitions and networks of solidarity and resistance do students maintain—and what struggles are avoided or perhaps neglected? What political possibilities does a “student” status afford, and what possibilities should it afford? To shape, structure and coordinate the use of the public library space, we will be meeting on Friday, November 16th, 1:00-4:30 PM, in room 5409 of the Graduate Center, CUNY.
Come share your ideas, questions, proposals for performances, teach-ins, direct action or anything else. Students and non-students alike are welcome!
