Real World Economics informatie- en debatavond over de 'neoliberale universiteit'. Informatie en debat: aan de vooravond van de demonstratie van vrijdag 21 januari organiseert de Real World Economics-serie een avond over de 'neoliberale universiteit'. Universiteiten en globalisering In deze tijd van globalisering worden universiteiten overstroomd door een zee van verstrekkende transformaties. Zo worden de universiteiten gedwongen om het inkomstenniveau te verhogen en om hun onderwijs- en onderzoeksprogramma's aan te passen aan de grillige en veranderlijke behoeften van de markt. Een van de belangrijkste aandrijvers voor de neoliberale herformatie van Europese universiteiten is het Bologna Proces. Plaats: CREA Theater, Turfdraagsterpad 17, Amsterdam
Demonstratie 21-1 om 13 uur Malieveld Den Haag): 'Nederland verenigt zich tegen de kenniscrisis ' - manifestatie tegen de kabinetsmaatregelen, georganiseerd door het ISO, de LKvV en de LSVb, Ondersteund door Student Union en andere organisaties en bedrijven. Op de website
Universities and globalization In this era of globalization, universities are immersed in a sea of profound transformations. Among other changes universities are forced to generate increasing levels of revenue and to adapt their education and research programs to the capricious and changing needs of the market. The Bologna Process has been one of the main causal forces of the neoliberal reconfiguration of universities in Europe. This Real World Economics event explores the causes and nature of these important transformations, as well as its main implications for the role of universities in contemporary society. With dr. Henk Overbeek (VU), dr. Steve Klees (University of Maryland, US) and representatives of the student movement in The Netherlands. The event will be presented by dr. Antoni Verger (UvA). English spoken. Location: CREA Theater, Turfdraagsterpad 17, Amsterdam Kritische Studenten Utrecht: Bologna! Alive & kicking…Jan. 18, A’dam …kicking European universities into a sea of profound transformations. From the Bologna-fuck-up group in Spain to the anti-Bologna protests in Vienna, in 2010 loads of European students took to the streets to protest the European Education policy that carried the name of the Bologna Process from 2000 and 2010. Is it a neo-liberal policy? A symptom of globalization? The logical outcome of market forces, competition with China and the need of a knowledge-economy? What’s certain is that many students and academics don’t like it, even without understanding the economic & political fundamentals behind it. But this evening in CREA Amsterdam is about precisely that: in the series of Real World Economics (an Amsterdam initiative to understand and debate the economy in sensible language) we explore “the causes and nature of these important transformations” of universities. With dr. Henk Overbeek (VU), dr. Steve Klees (University of Maryland, US) and representatives of the student movement in The Netherlands (among which KSU). The event will be presented by dr. Antoni Verger (UvA). English spoken.
