Austerity and global teachers' strikes in Morocco and Uganda (Meriam Mabrouk, Politics, Birkbeck)

​

Meriam will be joining the Birkbeck UCU picket line to talk about the relationship between accumulation processes and educational resistance in the periphery, both in Morocco and Uganda. With reference to the ongoing teachers’ strikes in Morocco, and Uganda’s teachers’ strikes over the last few years, this teach-out would introduce both strikes and locate them within a global pattern of casualisation and marketisation of education. It would also reflect on the ways top-down educational change and notions of productivity hinder the development of large-scale class consciousness. Lastly, it will highlight leftist and grassroots organising within these movements, and the importance of internationalist solidarity in the face of increasing restrictions on workers’ right to strike.

 

7pm

London Science Fiction Research Community - Reading group teach out

​

We will be collectively reading aloud and discussing a short story from "Broken Stars", an anthology of science fiction short stories translated from Chinese which touches on the themes of labour and class. We will then ask, how the story reflects on our own labour struggle, and those from around the world as well.
