DEAREST ALL,<br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_quote">
<br>
In response to the planned closure of Middlesex Philosophy students have<br>
been occupying the Mansion House on Trent Park campus. After failure<br>
of the Dean to attend a meeting that he set up with students on Tuesday<br>
morning explaining this ridiculous decision, we now have use of the<br>
entire Mansion building to organise teach-ins, screenings, pedagogical<br>
and cultural events in an open, non-hierarchical format.<br>
<br>
Today we announce the opening of an experimental and communal space for<br>
educational presentations and conversations at the interface between<br>
philosophy, theory, activism and art. Transversal Space is an alternative<br>
educational experience in which the boundaries between disciplines and<br>
the<br>
relations between students and teachers are blurred. Relationships and<br>
ideas are explored in an open and collective way continuing the ethos<br>
of our philosophy department and its series of events.<br>
<br>
A program of events for the weekend (7-9/5) is now being set up. Current<br>
program on <a href="http://www.savemdxphil.com" target="_blank">www.savemdxphil.com</a>, Updated every hour.<br>
<br>
Please come and join us on the beautiful Trent Park campus. A free shuttle<br>
bus will take you here from Oakwood station on the Picadilly line<br>
(penultimate stop in Northern direction). Let us know if you have<br>
suggestions for the program and join us at any point during the weekend.<br>
