PEDAGOGY OF THE PICKET LINE 202: FOR LECTURERS NEW TO STRIKING. Lecturers sometimes write courses that they wish were available when they were students. I wish this course was on offer before I joined a picket line for the 1st time in 2018. @ucu@CambridgeUCU#UCUStrikesBack
The prerequisite thread for this thread is PEDAGOGY OF THE PICKET LINE 101: FOR STUDENTS NEW TO STRIKING. In that thread, I presented the picket line as physical + symbolic, as well as pedagogic + performative. What do these concepts mean for lecturers?
PEDAGOGY OF THE PICKET LINE 101: FOR STUDENTS NEW TO STRIKING: I’m writing this thread because I have found that some students are quite unfamiliar with picketing, which is a sign of the times. Hope this helps. @ucu#UCUStrikesBack@CambridgeUCU
A picket line is a physical + symbolic space, as well as a pedagogic + performative space. Physically + symbolically, it marks a threshold that workers collectively do not cross to withdraw their collective labour. A picket line makes visible the withdrawal of this labor.
