People sleep on CUNY but it is one of the absolute JEWELS of U.S. Higher Ed and has been for decades. And what's the thanks the system gets??? It has to fight for its life every single year because it has been systematically defunded.

• What new vocabularies of partnership, praxes, of anti-oppression, and approaches to making labor visible emerge through making practices?
