Grassroots University Organising: from Millbank to the Covid Crisis and Rent Strikes
Channel: Staff-Student Solidarity Network Edinburgh
Date: 20/04/2021

This event was a discussion and open forum on the nature of university struggles, and student and worker organising over the last decade.

We heard from a few speakers regarding their reflections on the development and difficulties of university organising - from the start of the decade, to the recent Rent Strike movement.

This part of our ongoing research on how power struggles take place in the university space as a work environment, and how we can understand these processes better so that we can develop effective resistance. We very much hope to continue to consider crucial questions of how knowledge is transmitted between different generations of militants, and to discuss the rise and fall of related struggles.
