"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 The Nova Scotia Public Interest Research Group (also known as nspirg) is gearing up for another year of activity, research, education and action. NSPIRG is a campus-based student funded organization with links to the broader Nova Scotia community. Our focus is local, regional and global. Think of us as an umbrella group with working groups that focus on different issues. Each group decides collectively on what they're going to achieve and how they're going to go about it. Groups can host workshops, forums, speakers, lobby politicians, write articles. New members are always welcome. Our current working groups are: Eco Action Economic Justice, Humans Against Homophobia (HAH) Animal Liberation Collective Women's Health Collective Students Taking Action in Chiapas (STAC) Halifax Rainbow Speakers Project Some of our most recent publications include "Clearcutting in Perspective" - a 36 page publication on the reality of clearcutting in Nova Scotia. Copies are still available through our office. The Handy Dandy - a directory of alternative resources and contacts in Metro. If you don't already have one you should - copies still available through our office. Dalhousie Inc: the corporatization of a university. Copies can still be borrowed from our library. We are currently updating the "Single Mother's Survival Guide" - copies should be available soon. We'll keep you posted. We also have a volunteer run food cooperative and an organic garden on campus. Soon we will be starting our Cinema PIRGatory film series which show films on a weekly basis in the McMechan room of the Killam Library. If any of the above strikes your fancy give us a call (494-6662), or drop us a line (nspirg@is2.dal.ca) or just drop in (Room 314 Dal SUB).
