The materials Reading and Seminar series is hugely excited to present Sara Larsen and David Brazil, on a special visit from Oakland, CA, stopping over at Cambridge, UK. Poets and scholars of Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, the Pauline tradition, Sappho, Christian communism, the Paris Commune, the Trojan war, riot grrrl, and more; co-editors of the legendary little magazine 'Try!'; heavily involved in the Occupy movement; and leading contemporary poets, their work challenges traditional pedagogical models and helps to imagine and enact counter-institutions, a praxis of radical education that manifests in such initiatives as the Oakland Free University and the Bay Area Public School. Larsen and Brazil will give a seminar in the afternoon and a reading in the evening - we’re lucky to have them with us!
