2. Adjunct Project Workshop Series: Fighting Oppressions in the Heart of Academia
6:30 pm, The Graduate Center room 5414
The next event in our series of spring workshops!  How are racism, sexism, ableism, classism, homophobia, western imperialism, and other oppressions built up and maintained in the academy in general, and at CUNY in particular?  What cultural and institutional structures preserve the academy’s oppressive status?  How can we challenge and break down these structures?  And how can we use our location within academia to fight for social justice?  Panel and discussion.  Invite a friend!

3.  Adjunct Project long-term planning work session
Friday, April 8th, 6:30 pm, room 5489
What are the long-term goals of the Adjunct Project?  How can we best work to end contingency?  What should our vision and action be in the next year to five?  How can we strategize for long-term interactions with union leadership and the state? What other movements are central to the achievement of our long-term goals?  How can we grow our movement and be part of a growing national and international movement for labor rights and social justice?

Come to this work session to offer feedback and perspectives on these and more relevant questions!  We’ll use brainstorming and break-out groups to address these issues and more!   This is only the beginning of long-term strategizing for the end of contingency!

4.  Student Contingent at Anti-War Rally
The Anti-War movement is having its first big mobilization in years. It is time we say no to wars of aggression across the globe and tell the US government to spend tax payer dollars on education, housing, health care and decent jobs instead. A coalition of NYU student groups are working with student groups from across the city in mobilizing students to attend the April 9th Anti-War Rally. Date: April 9th 2011 Time: Meet at 11am Place: Washington Square Park
RSVP on facebook here.
