SUMMARY:College for All Jubilee School: Democratizing Knowledge Creation Be
 yond the University
DESCRIPTION:What remains of the utopian promise of the free production and 
 dissemination of knowledge once held by the American university? As the po
 litics of austerity\, spiraling tuition fees\, privatization\, and politic
 al repression have ravished our cherished institutions of learning over th
 e last 50 years\, the university now resembles more an Althusserian fever-
 dream than a space of real education. Oriented around academic freedom and
  anchored in the question of Palestine as a crucial case study\, this pane
 l explores the limitations on knowledge-production now imposed on universi
 ties both internally and externally\; the work that faculty members\, AAUP
  chapters\, and unions are doing to defend academic freedom from within\; 
 and alternative\, community-based spaces of public education. \n\n 	Jennif
 er Ruth is a Professor in the School of Film at Portland State University.
  She is an editor\, with Ellen Schrecker and Valerie Johnson\, of The Righ
 t to Learn: Resisting the Right-Wing Attack on Academic Freedom and the di
 rector\, with Jan Haaken\, of the film The Palestine Exception: What’s a
 t Stake in the Campus Protests? which can be screened through Watermelon P
 ictures\, Kanopy\, and Collective Eye. She organizes with AAUP and Coaliti
 on for Action in Higher Ed.\n 	Karim Mattar is Associate Professor of Engl
 ish at the University of Colorado at Boulder.  He works at the intersecti
 on of Palestine studies\, the humanities\, and higher education\, and is c
 urrently working on a monograph titled Writing the Catastrophe: Trauma and
  Responsibility Across Generations.  A dedicated organizer\, he is a memb
 ers of the Coalition for Action in Higher Education (CAHE) Steering Commit
 tee and co-chair of CAHE’s Palestine Caucus.  He currently serves as Fa
 culty Editor of the AAUP’s Journal of Academic Freedom\, and is preparin
 g a special issue on the theme of “Academic Freedom as a Practice of Dem
 ocracy.\n\nThis session is a part of the larger Jubilee School: College fo
 r All series.
