IICAS European Studies Speaker Series Presents IICAS European Studies Roundtable: “Remaking the Public University in the 21st Century” November 19, 2009 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM Dugout Conference Room RIMAC Annex To register, email [email protected] Refreshments provided. The current international economic crisis, which has thrown into question free market-based economic and state policies, has paradoxically deepened trends in many regions to privatize statefunded universities and reconfigure their mission as a public service and good along the lines of market-oriented models. The roundtable will seek to explore these trends and their fallout in terms of access, curricula, and research in order to reach a transnational perspective on these developments whose roots go back several decades. Presenters: Marcel Henaff, UCSD Literature & Political Science - France Christine Hunefeldt, UCSD History & CILAS - Spain & Latin America Ping-hui Liao, UCSD Literature - East Asia Isaac Martin, UCSD Sociology - California & United States Charles Thorpe, UCSD Sociology - United Kingdom Event information and directions: http://iicas.ucsd.edu/events/speakerseries/europeanstudies.php For event questions, please contact [email protected] or (858) 822-5297.
