Additional Event Information

In recent years students, activists, intellectuals, and scholars have engaged the nature and function of universities in the West while also discussing the official narratives university administrators project, which often do not reflect the lived experiences of students and workers on campus. They often do not reflect the role of universities in society at the local, national, and global levels. What explains this disconnect? In what ways might this disconnect reflect the historical and ongoing inequalities universities have benefited from and perpetuated? These are just some of the central questions that will guide our two-day conference.
