Hi everyone!
Due to the lack of available rooms on campus, this year’s Symposium will probably NOT be on Feb. 7-9.
If you were not applying because of that date, please apply!
We are HOPING to hold the event Jan. 31 – Feb. 2 but we have not gotten confirmation of the room bookings so that is also not definite.
We apologize for this last-minute change of plans.
Below is the correct information with links to the job postings. The application deadline is this Thursday, September 26 at 5:00PM.
***************************************************************************************************
We are hiring two part-time Coordinators for Rebel Knowledge, our annual Social and Environmental Justice Symposium.
The 2025 symposium will focus on student power, and will be in the Winter semester. We are hoping to hold it in early February (ideally Jan. 31 – Feb. 2, depending on the availability of rooms on campus).
Throughout history students have been at the forefront of social change and an integral part of movements for social and environmental justice. Consider just a few: the free speech and anti-war movements of the ‘60s and ‘70s, Québec’s student strike to halt tuition increases in 2012, and struggles for divestment – from South African apartheid, from fossil fuels, and from companies involved in the genocide in Palestine. This year’s Rebel Knowledge Symposium will take a historical and practical look at students’ role in creating the future – on our campus, in our society, and in the world we share.
Details:
