"The Money of the Future"

United Transnational Republics

A Lecture in Munich, Dec. 15, 2005

While the US-dollar is very well suited to promote US national
interests, the creation of a transnational currency is indispensable in
order to protect transnational citizen interests (protection of the
environment, human rights ...). After last weeks lecture in Münster, the United Transnational Republics
are invited to present this Thursday, December 15th, a lecture in Munich as
a part of the series of lectures "The money of the future".

Anarchisms Research Group

New York City, Dec. 2, 2005

When: FRIDAY, 2 DECEMBER 2005 AT 5 PM

Where: THE SOCIOLOGY LOUNGE, Room 6112 on the sixth floor of the CUNY
Graduate Center, 365 Fifth Avenue at 34th Street, NYC. (Directions
and maps available: here).

Throughout its history anarchism as a theory and a socio-political
movement has gone through periodic peaks and troughs in popularity
and notoriety. Over the past ten years anarchism has again been on
the rise.

CUNY students call for the formation of a new student group to pursue
interests in anarchist thought, and to advance its legitimacy in the
academy. The new student group, which is applying for incorporation
by the Doctoral Student Council at the Graduate Center, has three
proposed aims:

1. To promote the analysis of the history, plurality, and
trajectory of anarchism as a theory and practice.

2. To facilitate the development of anarchist research and theory
at CUNY and in the academy at large.

3. And to promote the study and teaching of anarchism within CUNY
and the academy at large.

We will have our first meeting to discuss the mission, projects, and
organization of the new student group (to be named "The Anarchisms
Research Group") on Friday, 2 December 2005 at 5 PM in the Sociology
Lounge, located in room 6112, on the sixth floor of the CUNY Graduate
Center, 365 Fifth Avenue at 34th Street, NYC. You must have photo
I.D. to enter the building if you are not a CUNY Grad Center student.

We invite students from various disciplines, backgrounds, political
practice and struggles, and CUNY campuses to join our first meeting.
Please bring ideas, proposals for projects, and your enthusiasm.
Vegetarian pizza will be served at the meeting!

For more information, please contact Yvonne Liu at YLiu5@gc.cuny.edu.

* NATIONAL DAY OF COUNTER-RECRUITMENT *
December 6, 2005
Campus Antiwar Network

* Say No to the Solomon Amendment!

Campus Anti-War Network is calling for actions around the country to
show the federal government that they cannot intimidate schools for
kicking out military recruiters. On December 6, the Supreme Court will
hear the FAIR v Rumsfeld case (brought by several universities), which
will decide whether schools can ban military recruiters wihout losing
federal funding. Currently, the Solomon Amendment allows the government
to cut off federal funding from schools that ban military recruiters.
This policy forces schools to accept military recruitment, even though
the military's anti-gay "don't ask, don't tell" policy violates
university anti-discrimination policies.

Modern Crisis Theory:
Its Relationship to Economic/Financial Crises

A Talk by Roz Bologh and Len Mell

New York City

Wednesday, November 30 at 7:30 p.m.

Is it important to have a theory of crisis? Is it necessary to have a
theory of how society undergoes maturational crises? Is it important to
have a theory of the evolution of society? Is it necessary to have a
theory of the development of social reason?

This is an introductory talk, workshop, and discussion on crisis theory
that requires no prior background. Traditionally the main power that
progressive movements have had is the power of ideas. We don’t have the
power of money, the media or the military; therefore we must regain the
power of ideas. An essential component of progressive movements has always
been a conception of how crises would come about and a theory of the
necessity of the further development of social reason.
