Universities are often thought of as places of learning and places of research, but less often as places of solidarity. We believe that access programs for displaced learners create spaces of solidarity and community from which to think about opening up the university.
"Solidarity, Displacement, and the University," a two-part workshop sponsored by OSUN partner the Open Learning Initiative (OLIve) at CEU, explores what solidarity with those who have experienced displacement, including asylum seekers and refugees, might mean for teaching, research and the university generally. It does so from the level of the student, teacher, and institution. This entails thinking beyond the borders of the university, to communities, organizations and grassroots initiatives, and how those, in turn, feed back onto institution, teacher and student experiences.
On October 13th, participants will discuss their experiences, research, and ideas. In the October 14th session of the workshop participants will collectively decide on what type of intervention to make using the proceedings of the workshop, and in what form.
