- Tom Marvin, professor of English and American Studies at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) delivers a talk entitled, "Occupy the University: Putting Student and Labor Activism in Perspective". Marvin suggests that public education is under attack by Neo-liberalism with its demand that all human activities justify themselves based on a narrow conception of profit and loss. He explains how and why it is important for students and labor unions to work together to affect the affordability of higher education as well as the working conditions of faculty and staff. Marvin uses the tactics and goals of the recent "Occupy Wall Street" movement and juxtaposes them against corporate interests and influence in public education institutions. A question and answer session follows. Marvin is introduced by Michigan State University Professor John P. Beck. Part of the "Our Daily Work/Our Daily Lives" Brown Bag series sponsored by the MSU School of Human Resources and Labor Relations and the MSU Museum. Held at the MSU Museum.
