Mike -- There are doings at University of Illinois, too, and evidently all over. There is a national website for the March 4 day of protest where people are posting resources: defendcapubliceducation.wordpress.com/ More to come. Helena Helena Worthen Clinical Associate Professor Labor Education Program University of Illinois 504 East Armory, Champaign, IL 61820 217-244-4095 hworthen@illinois.edu communicate/coordinate/cooperate/collaborate -----Original Message----- From: xmca-bounces@weber.ucsd.edu [mailto:xmca-bounces@weber.ucsd.edu] On Behalf Of mike cole Sent: Friday, February 26, 2010 4:17 PM To: eXtended Mind, Culture,Activity Subject: [xmca] Culture, Development, Higher Education Dear Colleagues- We have had an ugly and confused sequence of racial confrontation at UCSD for the past 10 days or so. These events coincide with a faculty "day of action" March 4 which will be some combination of teach out, walk out, protest. I am teaching a course on culture and development. I have addressed the racial issues effectively (or at least, to me coherently) within the frame of the course, and I have dealt with the history of schooling and its contemporary impact on development. But i would like a reading that specifically looks at the role of higher education in development, preferably one that deals with what it means to have a PUBLIC university to the development of those who participate and society as a whole. I am unsure of what to assign even as I look for some kind of microphone to rent that can allow me to address 100 students outside the classroom in a public place. Can anyone help? mike _______________________________________________ xmca mailing list xmca@weber.ucsd.edu http://dss.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/xmca _______________________________________________ xmca mailing list xmca@weber.ucsd.edu http://dss.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/xmca
