Reposted by Henry LawsSpencer Beswick @spencerbeswick.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I really enjoy teaching these things and hearing students' reactions. The Sixties student movement offered a bracing critique of the academy and their fellow students -- but also had great hope in the ability to remake the university and use it as a site of social change. 151
Reposted by Henry LawsSpencer Beswick @spencerbeswick.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This week in my Sixties class I taught SDS's Port Huron Statement (1962) and the Berkeley Free Speech Movement (1964). What students wrote then about the complicity of university administrators in social evils and the need for reform rings true today. Looking at you, Cornell. 1103
