A group from the Roman social centre ESC Atelier Occupato hosts edu-factory - “a series of transnational web-based discussions on the condition of the university today.” The first series (Feb-Apr 2006) is titled “Conflicts in the Production of Knowledge” - on the “conflicts of knowledge produced on the (always more porous) boundary between the university and society” and “the ambivalence of oppositional knowledges as challenges to the institution and processes of domestication.” The site is still being put together, but the schedule for the first series is as follows:
22-28 feb: Catedra Autonoma Rosario - Brian Holmes - Marc Bousquet | 1-4 mar: Patrick Bond and Ashwin Desai | 5-11 mar: Gordon Lafer - Denis Brutus - Amit Basole - KK Surendran | 12-18 mar: Sunil Sahasrabudhy - Nigel Gibson | 19-25 mar: Eileen Schell - Claire Pentecost | 26 mar -1 apr: Angela Mitropoulos - Melinda Cooper - Jon Solomon | 2-8 apr: Carlo Vercellone - Randy Martin - Mike Hayes - Kaushik Sunder Rajan | 9-15 apr: Michael Goddard - Dmitry Vilensky - Lin Chiming | 16-22 apr: Stephen Shukaitis - Gordon Mathews - Pablo Ortellado | 23-29 apr: Jeffrey Williams - Nirmal Puwar and Sanjay Sharma - Avinash Jha | 30 apr-6 may: Andrew Ross - Jie-Hyun Lim - Chandra Mohanty | 7-13 may: Gary Rhoades | 14-22 may: Conclusion |
