College of Education
Here is a link to the conference schedule, including descriptions of keynote and featured speakers along with the names, titles and descriptions of  breakout sessions:  http://rougeforumconference.wordpress.com.The Rouge Forum is an education activist group which has its roots in Detroit and Wayne State University.   It  brings together academic presentations and panel discussions, performances, community building, and cultural events.  This conference will center on such questions as:   Overall, what do we need to know and what do we need to do to overcome corporate education reform in our classrooms? In what ways are our classrooms, schools, universities, unions, etc. occupied by capitalism, racism, and inequality? And what do these occupations demand from us pedagogically?  What are the obstacles that must be overcome to achieve democratic education? What can we learn from Wisconsin 2011, the Occupy Movement, and the Chicago Teacher’s Strike to make us smarter and stronger in our struggle against corporate education reform? How do we educate to liberate ourselves from the impact of capitalism on our schools? How do we push back against the corporate influence in our classrooms and communities?  How do we occupy our classrooms, schools, universities, unions and communities in an effort to create education that is in the public interest and the best interest of our students?  For more information, email Greg Queen at rumbagarden@ameritech.net   Feel free to share this email with colleagues and other interested parties.
