Strike Syllabus Week 7: “We want education, not indoctrination” - History of UC Activism


Slide Deck here

Facilitators: Eugene & Thomas (UCSB)

Week 7’s presentation takes us back to the University of California. Student activism is woven into the history of the UC. Even as they have pursued different tactics and strategies, student activists across UC campuses have long been united by our shared commitment to a more just world. The presenters, Thomas (he.him) & Eugene (he.him), will look at the breadth of student activism across UC campuses from the 1960s to the present day.
