From enda.brophy at gmail.com Mon Oct 5 18:35:13 2009 From: enda.brophy at gmail.com (enda brophy) Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2009 12:35:13 -0400 Subject: University Struggles in Ireland Message-ID: Hi all, It occurs to me that my brother, who is an undergraduate at University College Dublin and deeply involved in struggles around post-secondary education in Ireland, might be interested in writing a piece for the journal. Is it too late for this? He has been a founder and spokesperson for Free Education for Everyone (FEE), a group which has occupied various ministries, organized a student strike, and generated a great deal of debate surrounding public education in Ireland. Chapters of the group have now been started up at various universities across Ireland. Perhaps he could write a synthetic piece in which he discusses FEE and the contemporary landscape of post-secondary education in Ireland? e. From conricerca at hotmail.com Mon Oct 5 22:33:23 2009 From: conricerca at hotmail.com (Gigi Roggero) Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2009 20:33:23 +0000 Subject: University Struggles in Ireland In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi all, I agree with the proposal of Enda: an article from Ireland and an experience such as Free Education for Everyone is good, of course focused on the question of the double crisis, that is, the topic of the issue. I think also that it's very important to understand what it's really happening in Asia univeristies related to the global crisis. Today we've published on the edu-factory website the article "Asia Rising: Countries Funnel Billions Into Universities," from "The Chronicle of Higher Education." Maybe there is no time to have a specific piece, because the zero issue will be out on the end of October, or the beginning of November. But we have to consider this central question in our introdcution. At this regard, we have to collect ideas in order to write a common article of presentation both of the whole project of the web-journal, and the zero issue. What do you think about? Can we start to collect and circulate some ideas about the introduction?

But he could certainly contribute for future issues. Apparently in early November the Irish government announces their intentions as to whether they are bringing tuition fees back, and so FEE and other movements are waiting to see what might happen. Things could heat up quite quickly at that point.

It's not a journal, it's a review!For the dowloading pdf version I think it's good but if we want to put on the web the version "animated" (idea that I've appreciated) I think it will result heavy and useless.What do you think about??
