Refreshments provided.

The current international economic crisis, which has thrown into question free market-based
economic and state policies, has paradoxically deepened trends in many regions to privatize state-
funded universities and reconfigure their mission as a public service and good along the lines of
market-oriented models. The roundtable will seek to explore these trends and their fallout in terms of
access, curricula, and research in order to reach a transnational perspective on these developments
whose roots go back several decades.

Presenters:
Marcel Henaff, UCSD Literature & Political Science - France
Christine Hunefeldt, UCSD History & CILAS - Spain & Latin America
Ping-hui Liao, UCSD Literature - East Asia
Isaac Martin, UCSD Sociology - California & United States
Charles Thorpe, UCSD Sociology - United Kingdom
