King’s College London, 27th February, 11.00am – 4.00pm
Hosted by: King’s UCU, The No Cuts @ King’s Campaign, and the London Education Activists Network
Education is under attack. Up to a third of university funding - £2.5bn – is to be cut, 30 universities could shut down and over 14,000 lecturers may lose their jobs.
Big businesses exert more and more control over the university system. Cuts in student places and higher fees could exclude many people from higher education altogether.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Education workers are lobbying for strike action, following the victory at TowerHamletsCollege. Students are protesting across Europe, organising occupations to stop neoliberal reforms – and taking control of campuses for another kind of education.
This February we will be hosting a day of alternative lectures and tutorials in King’s College London to bring together staff and students to celebrate what education could be – and to prepare for the battles ahead.
Initial line up includes:
Terry Eagleton: literary critic
Michael Rosen: poet, children’s author and education campaigner
Alex Callinicos: lecturer and radical theorist
Juan Carlos Piedra: Justice For Cleaners
Activists from Ireland and Austria
Education workers who have led successful strikes
Voices from students and campaigns around the country
(Other speakers – to be announced)
Alternative Lectures and Tutorials include:
*The crisis in our universities and the battle for education
* Education for liberation – what could our education look like?
* The corporate takeover of our universities
* How do we fight for free education?
* Building fighting unions
* Education for all – challenging Islamophobia, racism and the points based immigration system
* The tasks ahead – building resistance that can win
Room: 044 This is to announce: the 12th Marxism and Education: Renewing Dialogues (MERD) Seminar
We will be focusing upon: Current Issues in Marxist Education Research
We are pleased to confirm the following line-up of speakers: Andrea Beckmann, Charlie Cooper, Richard Hatcher, Ken Jones, and Gurnam Singh
More information on paper titles and details of the timetable will be sent to you in due course.
The seminar is free but places are limited.

Please forward this invite to those who may be interested
Convenors: Joyce Canaan and Richard Hatcher
The Marxism and Education: Renewing Dialogues (MERD) Seminars were founded by Tony Green (University of London, Institute of Education) and Glenn Rikowski in 2001. The first MERD Seminar was run at the Institute of Education in October 2002. For details on MERD Seminars 1-10, see: http://www.flowideas.co.uk/?page=events&sub=MERD
No to fees – A living grant for every student – Tax the rich to fund education
National demonstration February 25th 2009 This academic year could see the lifting of the £3,000 cap on tuition fees in higher education. Meanwhile, student debt and poverty are already spiralling, students face soaring costs of living, and the market dominates our education system from school to college to university.
After years of underfunding for post-16 education, the Government brought in tuition fees and then top-up fees. Worsening the already existing inequalities
in higher education, fees are greatly accelerating the development of a competitive market between universities, with a tier of well-funded and prestigious institutions and another of less prestigious, underfunded ones. Along with the absence of decent student grants, they rule out the possibility of seriously expanding access, force most students who do get to university into debt and push many into casualised, low-paid jobs. Lifting the cap will, of course, make all this worse. Meanwhile most further education students have always paid fees and never had grants.
Top-up fees will be in the headlines this year, but fees are not the only issue. Though Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish university students studying in their own nation, and FE students under 19, do not have to pay fees, they do not receive a living grant and are also forced into poverty and debt. Nursing, midwifery and other students who have to work as a large part of their course
receive a bursary as an on-the-cheap substitute for a living wage.
International students are exploited to subsidise higher education institutions through higher and higher fees, while postgraduate study is limited to a small elite through a more and more restrictive funding system.
Women, black, LGBT and disabled students are affected and disadvantaged disproportionately by the growth in student poverty and debt.
As our education is commodified and most institutions are run more and more for profit, the wages, conditions and rights of our teachers and other education workers are also coming under attack.
We also note that, as the economic crisis bites, the Government has announced that it plans to cut student numbers and further limit eligibility for grants.
We believe that NUS is allowing the Government to get away with these deeply unpopular policies. This year, despite the review of the cap on fees, NUS is not
organising a national demonstration – not even one for its needlessly bureaucratic “alternative funding model”, let alone the abolition of fees and living grants that students need. Its “day of action” – which took place on 5 November, the day after the US presidential election, hardly the best time to get attention – was a start, but totally inadequate.
That is why we, students’ union officers and student activists, are organising a national demonstration, around the following demands:
* No raising of the cap on top-up fees; halt and reverse the growth in international students’ fees; abolish all fees in HE and FE – free education for all; * A living grant for every student over 16 – at least £150 a week; and a living wage for nursing and other students who have to work as part of their course; * Stop and reverse marketisation in our schools, colleges and universities – tax the rich and corporations to fund
education.
We are organising this demonstration in alliance with trade union activists fighting back against wage freezes, job cuts and privatisation; with other anti-cuts and privatisation campaigns; with young people’s and children’s organisations; and with others who believe that education should be open to all as a human right, not a privilege open to a minority based on wealth.

Outsourcing Public Services - with special reference to education
This is the title of a paper I wrote last July. Unfortunately, it got whacked along with many other of my papers when AOL shut down its blogs and newsletters on 31st October.
However, I have 'rescued' most of these papers, and this one may be of particular interest for members of the groups posted to.
It seems that Critical Pedagogy and radical educators are causing quite a stir in Australia, according to ABC News. There are the usual stories about 'indoctrination' of students by left-wing professors, the 'evils' of Critical Pedagogy and nonsense about the 'neutrality' of the classroom, of course. All this is to be expected – and we have seen this before (e.g. the Gould Report in the UK in the early 1980s, the 'Dirty Thirty' campaign in the US, Thatcher's determination to end Marxist influence over teacher training at the University of Brighton and periodic digs at Marxist professors from the media in many countries over the last 40 years).
In these times of capitalist crises, the stakes are a bit higher than usual. What is also noteworthy is the extent and intensity of the debate that the ABC News item has generated.
Education is bathed in the values of capital; capital's values predominate throughout contemporary educationn systems. Representatives of capital within and without schools, colleges and universities rig the game and apply social (and occasionally naked) force in seeking to ensure this state of affairs.
There is resistance to this - in many forms. At this time of crisis for the future of capitalism, the pro-capitalist media and the capitalist state will no doubt clamp down in those places (such as eductional institutions) that still have a semblance of free speech and open debate. The big hammer of 'neutrality' in education will be brought by the forces of the right (who define 'free speech' as those views that accord with their own), the pro-capitalist media and the capitalist state to bear down on those educators willing to critique capitalist society.
The right are not getting it all their own way, and spirited defences of Critical Pedagogy, radical educators and radical education can be found in the debate ensuing in the 'Comments'.
In light of recent events Critique: Journal of Socialist Theory will be dedicating a special issue to Freedom of Speech.Critique is an independent, peer reviewed, academic journal founded in 1973.We are looking for high quality scholarly articles on or surrounding, but not limited to, the following topics:
Marxism and Freedom of Speech
Stalinism and the Nature of Control on Freedom of Expression
The Question of Socialism and Freedom of Speech
The Role of Freedom of Speech in Modern Capitalism
The Impact of the Patriot Act on Freedom of Speech
The Impact of Terrorism Legislation on Freedom of Speech
The Issue of British Control Orders
Freedom of Speech and Forms of Protest
The Limits of Academic Freedom in the Current Epoch
Critique: Journal of Socialist Theory welcomes contributions covering any aspect of Marxist political economy, philosophy and history.Articles should not normally exceed 7-8,000 words in length.Articles must include an abstract of no more than 300 words and a maximum of 6 key words.Articles will not be considered for peer review unless they are complete with an abstract and key words.For further instructions and advice for authors please visit: http://www.informaworld.com/critique
Of course, it's not complete, and when I get time I'll add to it. If any of you have suggestions for additions, that would be most welcome. Now I'm writing this, I realise that the MASSES is not on it! That's one for the future, for sure!

A conference organized by Education Not For Sale. Education Not For Sale is an anti-capitalist student network that fights for free education and a democratic, campaigning National Union of Students (NUS).
University of East London Docklands Campus (Cyprus DLR) Sunday 21st October, 11.30 5.30pm
What would a democratic, egalitarian, sustainable education system look like? How do we get it?
This gathering, which will takeplace at the University of East Londons Dockland campus from 12:00-5:30pm on Sunday 21st October and is sponsored by Education Not for Sale, looks at the challenges facing radical and socialist activists in the education sector.
From nursery through to post-graduate studies, the capitalist drive to profit from education has been strengthened massively under the New Labour government. Meanwhile, around the world, state education systems are being wrenched open,
privatised and put on the market. Education is up for sale.
But can we fight this commodification of knowledge effectively simply by defending the status quo of bureaucratic state education under capitalism? We think not.
As well as planning organisation and actions for the period ahead, the conference will focus on discussing ideas and perspectives generated by students, teachers and other workers in struggle, in Britain and internationally, today and in the past, to inspire us in our fight for free education in a free society.
Sessions will include:
- Educating for capitalism - Education and the Realm of Freedom - Ten years of New Labours education policy - Radical visions for education: Freire, Illich and May 68 - Education, alienation and the environment - Students in struggle internationally: Iran, Zimbabwe - Making the case for free education - Sex education

Mary Midgely has produced a new pamphlet on Intelligent Design and other Ideological Problems. She is one of the most distinguished contemporary applied philosophers, whose work on Science and Society, Applied Ethics and the relationship between humanity and other species has achieved international renown.
Dr. Midgleys pamphlet deals with one of the most pressing and controversial curricular issues in discussion in the UK today. She critically discusses the role of Intelligent Design as a putative scientific theory and suggests that it does not have a place in the Science curriculum but may have a home in the Religious Education. She also discusses the work of prominent advocates of natural selection and suggests that, although natural selection is, in essentials, a scientific research programme, it has accreted metaphysical doctrines through the interpretation of some commentators such as Richard Dawkins and is, therefore, not entirely unproblematic as a candidate for the Science curriculum. Some of the claims of the supporters of versions of natural selection, she holds, might more properly belong in the Religious Education curriculum alongside Creationism and Intelligent Design.
We are proposing to launch this pamphlet with a debate in London on October 3rd. The launch will take place in Room G73 in the Franklin Wilkins Building of Kings College London at 2:00pm with a buffet lunch available from 1:00pm.
Dr. Midgley will debate her pamphlet with Professor Steve Fuller (Warwick), Dr. Nicholas Everitt (University of East Anglia author of The Non-existence of God) and Dr. Giles Fraser (Vicar of Putney and Fellow of Wadham College, Oxford). All are cordially invited to this event.
Mary Midgelys pamphlet is a timely intervention which not only analyses a controversial issue but also suggests a way forward for schools to deal with it. As such, I commend it to you. I would be very grateful if you could let Sarah Moore, the Impact Administrator, know if you wish to attend as we need to know numbers for catering purposes.She can be contacted on sarah.2.moore@...
SUMMARY OF THE PAMPHLET
Recent claims that Intelligent Design Theory is scientifically respectableand that it ought, therefore, to be taught alongside the Darwinian Theory of Evolution in school science programmes have provoked fierce argument amongst Christian groups, academics and educationists both in the UK and USA. In this pamphlet Mary Midgley provides a detailed account of the controversy surrounding Intelligent Design Theory. She traces the emergence
of Creationism in the USA and shows how Intelligent Design Theory was taken up by fundamentalists as a way of ensuring a Biblical presence in American school science programmes when the teaching of Creationism was blocked by the courts. She presents a powerful case against the theory and at the same time shows that dogmatism and ideology can be found on both sides of the controversy. Midgley argues that the challenges of fundamentalism should be rigorously confronted and proposes radical changes in the training and practice of science and religious studies teachers to enable them to deal with the specific challenge of Intelligent Design Theory. Her major aim is to prevent students leaving school 'as either bigoted fundamentalists or bigoted atheistical pseudo-Darwinists'.
Mary Midgley is a philosopher with a special interest in ethics, human nature and science. She is the author of many books including Wickedness, Evolution as a Religion, The Ethical Primate, Science as Salvation, Science and Poetry, and The Myths We Live By.

25 Web Sites to Watch
What's tomorrow's YouTube? The Web's next breakout hit may be one of
these innovative, useful, and fun new sites.
think that all of the great Web sites have already been invented?
Think again. The Internet is evolving in new and inventive ways thanks
to mashups that pull data from all over the Web and to AJAX-based
interfaces that give sites the same degree of interactivity and
responsiveness that desktop apps possess.
To keep you ahead of the curve, we've rounded up 25 innovative Web
sites and services that are well worth watching. Some of them help you
design your own personalized Web site mashups; others enable you to
create video mixes, build wikis, share personal obsessions, and more.
But take note: A number of these sites are works in progress, and
user-generated sites depend on developing a critical mass of content,
which doesn't happen right away. With that in mind, check out the
following dot-com destinations. One of them may become the next big
Web hit.

This is not the case, I have a valid Yahoo-id
through which I have subscribed to 3 groups (of my choice). I think what is
happening in this case is as follows (I might be wrong), Confed is subscribed
to Alliance4education. I think I belong to confed (although I can’t quite
remember joining that one either). Hence, anyone who is a member of confed now
gets all the alliance4education emails. hence the administrator of confed has
to remove that group from alliance4education

23 Tips To Making Windows XP Start 60% Faster
Whenever you start your computer, you are faced with a few moments of thumb twiddling while Windows XP boots and prompts you to log on. Although you should expect to wait for a few moments, sometimes Windows XP seems to boot rather slowly. In fact, you may notice that over a period of time the PC that used to roar to life seems a bit sluggish instead. Fortunately, you can perform several techniques that help Windows XP get the bootup speed you want. This chapter explores how to put these techniques to work.
