Summary
This international conference sheds light on the role of protest and activism in reforming higher education by focusing on the past and present of ‘counter-universities’. Taking anti-capitalist, ecological, feminist, and queer initiatives into account, it provides important insights into historical conflicts over the design of higher learning and teaching.
