Student Protests

Appalled by co-alition policy betrayal?

Journalists want some fresh ammo for the higher education 2012 fees debate?

Perhaps you might like to vent your opinion, or delve into the depth of questions such as, is higher education in England and Wales heading for meltdown?  Or is there a more positive alternative to the government’s policies?

Then head to the Politicisation of Higher Education conference, at the House of Commons in Westminster on the 5^th of December between 1.00 and 5.00pm.

This conference will have two 90 minute sessions in a ‘Question Time’ format voiced by leading politicians, journalists and academics which include;

Adrian Bailey MP
Laurie Penny, New Statesman
Thom Brooks, Newcastle University
Natalie Fenton, HE White Paper Critic; Open Democracy
Des Freedman, Manifesto For Resistance
Maeve McKeown, University College London
Richard Scullion, author: Marketisation of Higher Education
John Holmwood, Campaign for Public University
Stephen Jukes, Dean of The Media School, Bournemouth University

The event is hosted by the Media and Politics Group, a Political Studies Association-funded specialist group. Attendance is free but registration is needed. Please register at mediapoliticsgroup@gmail.com
