Radical Sunday School: Open Session: What is Radical Sunday School?

Sunday November 3rd, 2024, Radical Sunday School: Open Session: What is Radical Sunday School? From 18:00 till 20:00.In this week’s session of Radical Sunday School, we’ll be opening up the conversation to people who’ve never been to RSS before! (And of course, we’d love to see familiar faces as well 🙂 ) In the first of what we hope to be a series of open session, we’d like to include everyone in the kinds of discussions we’ve been having within our collective. For example:

– What exactly is the difference between a “brave” and a “safer” space? What does that mean in a learning environment?
– How do we attract new people to our sessions?
– What exactly are our perspectives on mainstream education and academia?

We’d love anyone who’s ever been curious about what radical education can look like to stop by for a more laid-back, joyful reflection on these kinds of ideas, and whatever else you want to know!

Radical Sunday School: Fuck this Job! Taking Power Back at Work

Sunday October 20, 2024, Radical Sunday School: Fuck this Job! Taking Power Back at Work. From 18:00 till 20:00.What would you do if your boss started stealing your pay? What if you were getting pressured to work longer than you’re getting paid for? Would you complain? Would you quit? Under capitalism, we all have to work, and in the workplace, bosses and managers get to act like little kings. We don’t get a vote in the places we live 8 (or often more) hours a day. Alone, we have no power to stop this. But what if we could work together to fight back?

In this week’s session of Radical Sunday School, we’ll be sharing horror stories about work and complaining about our bosses, but we’ll also be talking with people who have taken the fight to their bosses. We’ll hear from veterans of the war against capitalism, and find out what the front lines look like: collective actions, walk-outs, escalation tactics, and large scale strikes!

Whether you work at a university, a factory, a restaurant, or an office building, we can all learn skills together to help us fight labor exploitation and start to take control of our own lives. Let’s get together to make sure that Mondays don’t have to be the worst day of the week anymore!

Radical Sunday School: What’s wrong with academia?

Sunday October 13, 2024, Radical Sunday School: What’s wrong with academia? From 18:00 till 20:00.From its very beginnings, Radical Sunday School defined itself as a collective that is highly critical of the currently existing formal education systems and aimed to offer and imagine alternatives as best as we could. Most of us in the collective have a lot of different personal experiences with formal education as students and we also read others’ thoughts on this topic who had more time and resources to form their opinions. However, we have significantly less knowledge about how the academia looks like from teachers’ and researchers’ points of view. So, tonight, we will have the opportunity to listen to and ask a researcher and lecturer at the UvA, Dirk Damsma, who studies and teaches about topics in the philosophy of science while being critical of the institution where he works. How can you climb up the steps of the academic ladder? And is that even worth it? Is working as an academic just like any other job? Whether you think universities should be burned to the ground or you still want to believe at least a little bit that the promises of the academia are not complete lies, join us for the discussion!
