Oberlin has remarkably little space given to intellectual discourse outside of the classroom, and we want to work to change that, to bring it, to fertilize an arena here for important ideas. With luck, this website will be able to interface between the many activist and radical groups here at Oberlin and serve as a locus of organization.
We also intend to bring about 3 hours of weekly podcast information/theory-based educational programming for the Oberlin Community, because Education and dissemination are the foundation of every social transformation. The best programming will be broadcast on
WOBC Sunday afternoons. We'll have history segments, headlines, readings from texts, interviews, discussions, folks calling in, and music. Mostly politics, but we'll run the gamut and invoke radical art/body/radical-psychology/theater of the oppressed stuff too, yarn everything in and out as much as possible. Earth-First will Tag-Team a section, Students for a Free Palestine will contribute, Oberlin activists against Prisons might pitch in, an Amnesty International Update, Gender Issues, Queer & feminist Theory, Examinations of Privilege, Activist round-ups & Updates, Pedagogical Method, Guy Debord, Vegan Manifestos, a Milieu of Social Critique, the whole Shah-Bang: we will come at things from a variety of perspectives, disagree with each other, but foster conversation.
Check back soon for more updates.
