This fall the Danish government holds the presidency of the European Union. From Friday the 13th of December to Sunday the 15th, the final summit of the presidency will be held in Copenhagen. From Thursday the12th to Sunday the 15th there will be protests and actions against the European Union all over Copenhagen. Global Roots invite you to come and join us in this resistance against the EU: an undemocratic, capitalist project made solely to improve conditions for large cooperations, at the cost of people, democracy and the environment.

As a result of the overwhelming success of last year's interdisciplinary conference on the History of Activism, History as Activism at Columbia University, the graduate students in the history department are currently organizing an interdisciplinary conference on the historical, theoretical, and political dimensions of writing. The objective of the conference is to provide a forum for writers, activists, novelists, screenwriters, poets, journalists, graduate students, and faculty--from all fields and across all time periods and geographic locations--to discuss "why they write."
