Making Worlds Cooperative Bookstore & Social Center Book Launch and Discussion: Organize the Lab: Theory and Practice

Science has become a billion-dollar enterprise operating through governments, universities, and industries. And like every other productive activity under capitalism, it perpetuates through exploitation of STEM workers.

Recent waves of academic labor militancy have shown us that collective action is the only way to overcome precarity and oppression. In this event, we intend to present the book Organize the Lab, a collection of essays —written by and for student workers, union organizers, and radical scientists within STEM academia—in order to support ongoing labor struggles in STEM academia, including the current strike of the Temple University Graduate Student Association. We hope to inspire STEM workers to join the struggle toward a future of science free from the shackles of capitalism.
