Documentary Screening & Q&A:
Chile's Student Uprising

You are warmly invited to a screening of the documentary 'Chile's Student Uprising', followed by a Q&A involving the director and our own respondent, Sofia Mason, which will be taking place tomorrow (June 3rd), 5-7, in LG140 of the Hallward Library (the screening room downstairs). You can see a bit more information about the film here:

‘Chile’s Student Uprising’ tells the story of the student protests taking place in Chile today demanding a free and state-funded education system and radical change in society. The film puts the protests in their historical context of widespread dissatisfaction with the economic model put in place under the Pinochet dictatorship (1973-1990), but that still remains largely in place.

 

We've conceived of this as something of a follow-on from the Centre for Critical Theory's workshop on neoliberalism last week, so the discussion may well touch on the neoliberalisation of the university in the UK as well the Chilean context. It would be great to see you there.
