| 7 | 07/28/2014 - 2:03pm | Anonymous | 189.163.226.110 | Yes, many of the talks were very inspiring and applied the theme to their area of discriptive in a good way. I do wish there were more sessions that dealt specifically with presenting terms from Marx, like the Randy Martin and Juliet Ucelli ones. | Yes | Maby suggested readings beforehand and I really wish more of the presentations had used the white board or powerpoints as just talkis very hard to take for a lot of people, myself included. Also, leg stretches every hour or 45 minutes!!! | Good start for the weekend but again, power point please | Good! | Great. Inspiring, clear, interactive, tied to the theme & presented in a very pedagogical way. | Great, wish schedule with suggested readings would've been sent out earlier and that time would've been managed a little different. | Missed this | Historical perspective was good! Whit board with points would've been helpful. | Amazing. Could've used a powerpoint & a suggested reading list at the end. | Marcuse needs a powerpoint. Nancy Romer very good! both theoretical and comcrete | Good! | Could've used more structure | Skye needs a powerpoint. If I hadn't been familiar with all his theoretical concepts beforehand, I woul've been completely lost. | A book list or reading list would be great, with the texts mentioned during the talks. | |||||||
| 10 | 07/28/2014 - 2:39pm | Anonymous | 189.163.226.110 | Inspiring 3 days, satisfied. Good space to refresh ideas and get to meet people. It is exceptional to find spaces that bring together activists and intellectual work / study groups | Yes I did, but I have a "big mouth," used to speak in public. Maybe some special effort could be done to facilitate, bring in other voices. | Could have been a bit more in some of the talks | Coffee would have been nice | (followed on internet) Refreshing talk. Good keynote to set the scene | Difficult topic to tackle in 2 hours, but it did the job of appetizer to engage more with Capital | Very engaging. Good balance theoretical analysis and tos /hands on /strategies as move forward. | Inspiring talk. Well structured, communicative and nice to end with concrete invitation for people to become engaged with concrete struggle. | Nice to have a very personal take on the work of Fanon probably not very familiar to many. Could have gone more in depth maybe. Engaging speaker | I was happy with the approach. Not too dense and well structured, not to long for early up. | Great. Johanna Fernandez is an exceptional speaker. THe combination of clarity, structured talk and energy emittance is inspiring, sharp analysis | Nice engagements with possible ways forward. A session that nicely combined theoretical analysis with giving tools on how to move forward. | Sorry, I missed that class | Interesting, good speakers. For this sessions it could have been nice to bring in testimonies from experiments, rather that people reflecting on initiatives elsewhere. | Difficult task to span so many different topics without becoming to general/nor too specific, but it worked. | |||||||

| 5 | 07/28/2014 - 1:45pm | Anonymous | 189.163.226.110 | Great | Yes | It was very good, interesting, mind opening esp when he talked about India | I heard about the book "The Wretched of the Earth" but never read it. After lecture I can now say that at least I have an idea about who Frantz Fanon was. Truly interesting and I plan to do my own research on the topic. | Very good, esp that P. Marcuse, descendant of famous Marcuse ("Unidimensional Man"). I am very interested in Community Land Trust. Because I was late, I missed "Accumulation by Dispossession." | I learned a lot about this very interesting topic. It has definitely a future. | I would like to add that I found the people coming here interesting. Thank you. | |||||||||||||||
| 8 | 07/28/2014 - 2:16pm | Anonymous | 189.163.226.110 | Was great. Depth, interesting topics, accessible enough | Yes | Yes | Start later, end later, more comfortable chairs | Brilliant | Loved the mood/feel. Felt he had oversimplified. He clearly had a deeper knowledge that he let into the talk itself. | Q&A is difficult that early. Would have liked more connection between the basics and where they led--even if just briefly mentiond. Fruits of the basic tenets. | Felt a bit disjoited. Would have liked more precise direction and point. No need to single people out based on the country of origin (felt uncomfortable). | Brilliant. Slightly statistic-heavy given oral format. Maybe visual aids could have helped given oral format. Maybe visual aids could have helped. | No comment | Very edifying. Reading & Q&A that early is difficult | Missed | ||||||||||

This was not to my expectation | Yes | Yes | Not sure | Very informative.Gives real world examples of what is happening in the world | Informative but something was missing that wuld give a more accurate view of what is going on. | Very, very good.

| 6 | 07/28/2014 - 1:51pm | Anonymous | 189.163.226.110 | Good experience, informative, yes | yes | No, I recommend blocking time for questions and discussion or asking speakers to account time for questions. | More sessions, perhaps on the first day, about the basics of Marxism, mabe explore his writings before jumping into more narrow topics. | missed | good informative session | favorite | great format | Not sure how this session fit with the rest, a bit off tipic | Could delve deeper into Marxist Method | Very interesting | Very captivating, could also include more about Marx and less incarceration | Missed | Missed | Missed | I like the alternatives component | missed | |||||
