Academic Repression video on YouTube!
I love it when authors email me and say, “Hey Kate, here’s a YouTube video I just made for my book!” I wish it happened more often … if anybody out there is looking for a way to volunteer some time to help AK Press out, we have tons of great books that would love to have their own promotional videos! And sadly, I have neither time nor skills to produce them … Email me if you do!
In the meantime, check out this one that Anthony Nocella, co-editor of Academic Repression: Reflections from the Academic Industrial Complex, just sent me:
And, if you’re in the Baltimore area, don’t miss Anthony’s talk at Red Emma’s this Friday, February 11, at 7:30PM. Here’s the description from Red Emma’s:
Anthony Nocella on Academic Freedom and Repression
Friday, February 11 | 7:30PM | @ Red Emma’s
Enough is enough! “Hire” education across the country is being hijacked by the corporate agenda. Students are leaving college with a degree that they cannot get a job with and an average of $80,000.00 in debt. With more adjuncts, less tenure-faculty positions, and staff being hired only part-time to cut benefit costs, the corporate university has taken over. The academic industrial complex is on full exploitation throttle with critical education thrown out the window and replaced with standardization and normalcy. Anthony Nocella, activist, poet, author, and co-editor of Academic Repression: Reflections on the Academic Industrial Complex (AK Press 2010) will take us first hand into the complex, discussing his own experiences, how to resist, and how the book was created.
Don’t miss it!
