Pluto authors at Tent City University

As part of the impressive organisation taking place down at Occupy London, protesters have set up the ‘Tent City University’. As the organisers describe it on their website:

This is a space to learn, share knowledge and develop skills through a wide series of workshops, lectures, debates, films, games, praxis and action. As formal education becomes more and more commodified and inaccessible, here we have an opportunity to explore popular alternatives. Because between us we have all the resources we need. Anyone can teach, everyone can learn – and the two go hand in hand. Feel free to propose sessions, listen to new ideas and share with others what you know or want to know. Let’s learn together!

All events are free, open to anyone, and take place in the ‘University Tent’, (next to the ‘Info Tent’), at the OccupyLSX camp, outside St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Here is a list of Pluto authors currently booked to speak:

• Ted Honderich, author of Terrorism for Humanity, Conservatism and Punishment:  The Supposed Justifications Revisited, will be speaking TODAY at 4pm on ‘Right and Wrong: Terrorism, Terrorist War and Civil Disobedience’
