FUC 013 | Donna Murch - The Power of the Public University

Donna Murch, Associate Professor of History at Rutgers, State University of New Jersey, author of Living for the City and the forthcoming collection of essays, Assata Taught Me: State Violence, Mass Incarceration, and the Movement for Black Lives, and member of the Executive Council of the Rutgers AAUP-AFT of joins us for our 13th installment.
Professor Murch is a signatory of the current UC Boycott - payusmoreucsc.com/call-for-a-... - a call of conscience not to speak at any University of California campuses until the administration reinstates the 41 UCSC graduate students who were fired for strike activities and are now ineligible for fall positions. For more information about how to support UC graduate student workers and for links to sign the boycott and donate to the strike fund, visit our website, here: www.fuc-series.org/#support.
FUC is a weekly online series that hosts conversations around labor, labor movements, de-commodified knowledge, and the future of the university and higher education. It is facilitated by rent-burdened graduate students at the University of California in solidarity with the COLA movement. Visit our website for more information about our series: www.fuc-series.org.
