Social Justice, Research and the University by Ashley Fortier and Indu Vashist
The recent column by Gazette University Life reporter Peggy Curran – Activist group stirs up storm (August 14, 2009) – conveys some troubling ideas about academic freedom and free speech by both a Concordia administration official and a pro-Israel advocate, in reference to a project that is part of the Community University Research Exchange (CURE). CURE was initiated by the Quebec Public Interest Research Groups (QPIRG) at Concordia and McGill in response to demands by students who wanted to integrate their classroom learning with social justice movements and activist organizations. Vélo! Vélo!: Bike Collective Conference (September 25-27) Vélo! Vélo! is a conference of bicycle collectives, such as community bicycle workshops and bike share programs, in the Greater Montreal Area. Modeled on the Bike! Bike! conference in the US, Vélo! Vélo! provides an opportunity for volunteers and staff at bike collectives to build solidarity, share knowledge and collaborate on their respective projects. Entrance will be by donation.
