SUMMARY:College for All Jubilee School: Democratizing Knowledge Creation Be
 yond the University
DESCRIPTION:[embed]https://youtu.be/ZqJ1FO4jclw[/embed]\n\nWhat remains of 
 the utopian promise of the free production and dissemination of knowledge 
 once held by the American university? As the politics of austerity\, spira
 ling tuition fees\, privatization\, and political repression have ravished
  our cherished institutions of learning over the last 50 years\, the unive
 rsity now resembles more an Althusserian fever-dream than a space of real 
 education. Oriented around academic freedom and anchored in the question o
 f Palestine as a crucial case study\, this panel explores the limitations 
 on knowledge-production now imposed on universities both internally and ex
 ternally\; 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 	Jennifer Ruth is a Professor in t
 he School of Film at Portland State University. She is an editor\, with El
 len Schrecker and Valerie Johnson\, of The Right to Learn: Resisting the R
 ight-Wing Attack on Academic Freedom and the director\, with Jan Haaken\, 
 of the film The Palestine Exception: What’s at Stake in the Campus Prote
 sts? which can be screened through Watermelon Pictures\, Kanopy\, and Coll
 ective Eye. She organizes with AAUP and Coalition for Action in Higher Ed.
 \n 	Karim Mattar is Associate Professor of English at the University of Co
 lorado at Boulder.  He works at the intersection of Palestine studies\, t
 he humanities\, and higher education\, and is currently working on a monog
 raph titled Writing the Catastrophe: Trauma and Responsibility Across Gene
 rations.  A dedicated organizer\, he is a members of the Coalition for Ac
 tion in Higher Education (CAHE) Steering Committee and co-chair of CAHE’
 s Palestine Caucus.  He currently serves as Faculty Editor of the AAUP’
 s Journal of Academic Freedom\, and is preparing a special issue on the th
 eme of “Academic Freedom as a Practice of Democracy.\n\nThis session is 
 a part of the larger Jubilee School: College for All series.
