Occupy: New Spaces for Resistance Teach-In

RE.FRAMING ACTIVISM is based at the University of Sussex where students and staff are fighting the senior management’s plans to privatise university services. For the last three weeks, students have been occupying the Conference Centre at the University of Sussex. Their occupation is still strong with support from thousands of people across the world including academic Noam Chomsky, Caroline Lucas MP and comedian Mark Steel. Last week, staff and doctoral researchers from the School of Media, Film and Music supported the occupation with a teach-in and the following are the talks and resources shared.
