The “Knowledge Doesn’t March” campaign is an initiative that brings together a network of organized entities from the world of schools and universities. Its goal is to provide a tool for severing the ties between public education and the military-industrial complex, and thus its complicity in the genocide of the Palestinian people. It aims to reverse the tendency of our education system to be an instrument of war policies.
The campaign continues the work some of us have done in the past years to fight the constitution of an Academic-Military Industrial Complex in Italy and Europe. Much has been done in recent years on this front, including with the student movement against the genocide of the Palestinian people at the hands of Israel in Palestine. From my side, I began by examining the arrival of Frontex in my Department in 2021 (here, a recent publication on the matter in Antipode; here a post on how the story unfolded), and then I centred the problem of the relationship between the Italian University and the Military in this pamphlet.
The assembly is open to all; more info on how to join is here.
