“Autonomy Among Us”: An Interview with Quebec Student Strike Organizers

“Autonomy Among Us”: An Interview with Quebec Student Strike Organizers

A lot of people involved in the different CUTE committees were involved in the 2012 student strike and from that experience we drew some critiques that led to new forms of organizing in the student movement.

Now, that statement does not operate as a blanket that covers up and homogenizes an abstract class identity, but rather it functions because it reveals the multiplicity of what labor means from a feminist point of view, with all of its hierarchies and all of its struggles.
