Abstract
Academic protests are not common in Poland. However, a number of student protests have been organized recently, including dormitory occupations in Poznań in December 2023 and in Kraków in May 2024, as well as an occupation of teaching rooms in Wrocław between June and December 2024. A student conference 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�Trzeba bronić uniwersytetu에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트� (에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�The University Must Be Defended에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�) was also organized in Warsaw in April 2024. I will describe this remarkable change in student self-organization, discuss its possible reasons (e.g., the thematization of rental and housing prices as a widespread social problem in Poland), consider its relationship to other recent shifts in Polish academia (e.g., the increasing visibility of the role of the national R&D budget), and speculate on potential future developments. The talk will be based on conversations with people involved in the protests, but also on already available data, which are quite extensive 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트� for instance, the protesters from Poznań and Kraków have already published two books in Polish documenting the dormitory occupations.
