April 16: Scholar & Occupy Activist Andrew Ross

Scholar and Occupy activist Andrew Ross will deliver Hampshire College's 
fifth annual Eric N. Shocket Memorial Lecture on April 16, 2012, at 4 
p.m. in Franklin Patterson Hall. The lecture is free and the public is 
invited. His talk will be entitled "Democracy, Occupy, and Debt-Financed 
Education."

Ross is a prolific writer, scholar, and activist who has recently been 
at the center of the Occupy movement around the issue of student debt 
and the financing of education. He is a professor in New York 
University's department of social and cultural analysis. His recent 
books include Real Love: In Pursuit of Cultural Justice, Nice Work if 
You Can Get It, and Bird on Fire: Lessons from the World's Least 
Sustainable City.

The annual lecture series honors the memory of Eric N. Schocket, an 
inspiring teacher and a nationally prominent scholar in working-class 
studies, who taught at Hampshire College from 1996 until his death in 
2006. Schocket's work engaged the important relationship between class 
and culture. His book Vanishing Moments: Class and American Literature 
was published in 2006.

This event is also part of the spring 2012 Hampshire College 
Presidential Lecture Series. Hampshire is hosting a series of public 
talks by innovative thinkers and leaders in diverse fields throughout 
the semester.

Through the Presidential Lecture Series, Hampshire is examining 
challenges facing the world today and the College's role in producing 
innovative thinkers and leaders for the future. These events will build 
toward the April 27 inauguration of President Jonathan Lash, which has 
as its theme "Educating for Change: Critical Thinking in a Critical 
Time." That day's events will feature speeches by President Lash and by 
former U.S. vice president Al Gore.
