"Universities have a purpose. They are supposed to be pressing the
boundaries of knowledge and inspiring student questioning;they are
basically supposed to be subversive." - Noam Chomsky

At the Nova Scotia Public Interest Research Group this is our aim.
We recognize that mainstream perspectives driven by excessive consumption
and money-centered value systems dominate our society to such a degree that
virtually all other viewpoints and values become excluded.

We seek to enable more diverse, balanced public involvement, dialogue and
debate about the decisions which affect us all.

We are campus-based (at Dalhousie University) and student-funded with links
to the broader community. Our goal is local, regional and global.

We fund original research, advocacy and educational groups. Our office
serves as a resource and research centre.

If you don't know about us and want to find out more, check out our web site
http://is2.dal.ca/~nspirg  or drop by our office in room 314 of the Student
Union Building.

If you want to be added to our emailing list just send us a message with
"subscribe" in the subject heading.

Our working groups include:

Cinema  PIRGatory
Eco-Action
Peace Action Group
Humans Against Homophobia
Animal Liberation Collective
Economic Justice
Women's Health Collective
Food Cooperative
Seymour Green, organic community garden


Our latest publication, Dalhousie Inc., the Corporatisation of a University
by Ben Hirtle is available through our office.

As well, in the next few weeks we will be releasing the 6th version of our
Handy Dandy: A directory of alternative resources, centres and contacts in
metro. It will also be available through our office.

For info on these publications or anything else give us a call 494-6662 or
email us at nspirg@is2.dal.ca


Look forward to hearing from you,

linda pannozzo

ps: if you want to get a crash course in what we are, drop by our Annual

A word from our lawyers ...

Don't forget ... COPYRIGHT material, such as newspaper/magazine articles
cannot be posted on sust-mar without the owner's permission. It's against
the law. CROSS-POSTINGS (messages from other lists) are also discouraged.

In either case, why not tell us something about the issue in your own
words? Or ... send a clipping along with the URL where the original can be
found, or directions how to join the list it came from?

Takes a few more minutes, but makes for a more interesting sust-mar ... :)
