[Lori A. Serb]

I know this is the first Saturday of the month, and folks should  
demonstrate against the Invasion and Occupation of Iraq and  
Afghanistan from 2-4pm in Downtown Champaign Neil Street but there is  
a free and open to the public conference happening on Saturday…

BREAKING SILENCE:THE POLITICS OF PUBLIC PEDAGOGY 12/6

If you enjoy reading Professor Antonia Darder's articles in the Public  
I, hear Radio Liberacion! every 2nd Sunday 10A-11A (http://www.radioliberacion.org 
) or heard her at the GEO 10/29/08 rally you may be interested in  
attending the upcoming free and open to the public conference:  
BREAKING SILENCE:THE POLITICS OF PUBLIC PEDAGOGY. Antonia Darder is  
also the principle investigator for DTEC (Diversity & Technology for  
Engaging Technology)

BREAKING SILENCE:THE POLITICS OF PUBLIC PEDAGOGY 12/6
This day-long conference will present the work of the graduate student  
collective enrolled in the Educational Policy Studies course, The  
Politics of Pedagogy, led by Professor Antonia Darder.

The conference is an opportunity to share the understanding of  
cultural production, as a political force for extending an  
emancipatory vision of collective self-determination.

This is an exciting opportunity to see how public pedagogy redefines  
higher education in such a way that it becomes public driven and  
community centered.

Presenters include: Aaron Ammons, Charlotte E. Davidson, Amira Davis,  
Judith Estrada, Johanna F. Galarte, Abby Harmon, John Jones, Matt  
Linick, Shantel Martinez, Ashley Tsosie Mahieu.
