Hosted by University of Cambridge PhD student Maria Fernanda Rodriguez, in solidarity with the scholars and students currently in struggle against state violence in Perú, this panel features Peruvian scholars Prof Cecilia Méndez (UC Santa Barbara) and Dr Patricia Oliart (Newcastle University). The event is co-hosted by KPP, CLAREC and the Universities in Crisis project.
Perú is facing a significant political crisis during which many people have been killed. You can read more about it here and the way it is affecting universities here. This event will reflect on the current situation in Perú, as well as the fate of universities during political crises, touching upon questions of university autonomy and the role of universities in politics. There will be a chance to ask questions.
