Hi, Carrol. That information is actually front-and-center on the website
as it stands. If it's not showing up for you or something, please let me
know, because we definitely want that information out there! (Maybe when
our web guru goes through and makes the front page snazzier, the info
will stand out better. This is not my strength.)
In any case, it's Friday, April 11 - Sunday, April 13 at UMass Amherst.
It's being hosted by our incredible (sorry, shameless plug here) Social
Thought & Political Economy program -- a 40+-year-old radical
undergraduate major here at UMass, with extraordinary student leadership
and opportunities to take lots of small seminars focused on critiquing
social, political, and economic power structures.
http://www.umass.edu/stpec Please let the college-bound activists in
your circles know about us!
Thanks, Carrol and everyone.
