Alternative education in Nottingham: Some thoughts

07-04-2009 10:09 | Education | Nottinghamshire

I was recently invited to be part of a really exciting new project in Nottingham. The idea results from people’s thoughts on what education is about and should be about, from reflection on our own educational backgrounds, and views about recent events at the University of Nottingham. Some initial ideas have been worked on, and these are some thoughts resulting from meeting on 26/3/09… They are just my own recollections but this might be a useful forum to mull ideas over in…. Please get involved!

Eviction video & post occupation statement from Nottingham Uni

04-02-2009 19:48 | University Occupations for Gaza | Education | Palestine | Nottinghamshire

On the evening of Sunday 1st February university management issued an ultimatum giving protesters two minutes notice to leave. After this, university security entered B62 and used physical force, arm locks, pressure points and verbal aggression to end the peaceful sit-in, which had been called in solidarity with Gaza. For a video of the eviction, please see:

Nottingham Gaza solidarity occupation violently evicted

At around 6pm today the student occupation of B62 at Nottingham University was violently evicted by campus security. Around 10 security staff used force to remove the occupants into the snow outside. Students are being forced to wait in the cold whilst they go in one by one to pick up belongings. They are being forced to give ID in order to be allowed entry.

Nottingham University Authorities: A National Disgrace

Forward from the occupation blog - university attempts to silence dissent, first by violently evicting the occupation, then by censoring media, refusing to record security guards' abuse and keeping protesters in the cold.

Breaking News: Student Occupation at Nottingham University

A sizable group of Nottingham students have tonight occupied a large lecture hall in the Law and Social Sciences building at Nottingham University. This action appears to be both in solidarity with the people of Gaza, and in defence of students' own right to protest and free speech, and students have already indicated a number of demands for action on the part of the University.
