Join SSJ's Open University!

Scholars for Social Justice is proud to announce the launch of six SSJ Open University sites in major cities across the United States. The project “Open University” honors a long tradition of Black freedom schools and represents our attempt to offer an alternative to the current crisis of American higher education where campuses have become corporate, extractive, and repressive. 

In a time of growing attacks on university workers and rising financial barriers, SSJ Open University sites offer dedicated space and access to free political education and radical pedagogy for everyone, especially those who have been historically excluded from higher education.
