Off Campus Location
Join us for the opening session of our Fall 2017 edition of Detroiters Speak: Reclaiming the Commons.
*The Com•mons /kämənz/ Plural Noun: land or resources belonging to or affecting the whole of a community.
Co-curated this semester by Diana Copeland, Will Copeland and Craig Regester, this interactive public course will focus in the first three sessions on the interconnected crises facing everyday Detroiters around water shutoffs, home foreclosures, public schooling, labor and gentrification.
In the last five sessions, however, we'll turn to an exploration and further creative development of the many grassroots community responses happening in Detroit that are pushing back against efforts to privatize practically everything in the City.
More info on speakers to come soon!
As always, all sessions are free and open the public & include a light dinner.
