3Cs will speak at the UNC Department of Geography regular colloquium series on Friday, November 6th. The talk will take place in Saunders 220 on the UNC campus at 3:30 PM.  The abstract of the talk is below:

The Counter Cartographies Collective (3Cs), a working group at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, works to understand the university and its role in the global knowledge economy through radical cartographic interventions and related research practice, including the 'disOrientation guide' to UNC-Chapel Hill.  3Cs work is widely published and exhibited, notably in the recently published - 'Toward a Global Autonomous University: Cognitive Labor, The Production of Knowledge and Exodus from the Education Factory.'  This October, 3Cs released the second in its series of disOrientation maps of the UNC campus. On Friday, 3Cs will discuss its radical mapping in the context of its work on the university knowledge economy, visas and global student flows, the effects of university competition and rankings and the history of UNC.
