In 2024, university campuses across Canada saw encampments and other protest actions. In a new book and podcast series Dr. Roberta Lexier places these actions within the broader history of student activism in Canada since the 1960s. How does student activism differ between Québec and the rest of Canada? How can radical praxis can be maintained in a rapidly turning over student population? How does student activism intersect with off-campus politics – and when and why does the state respond with violent force?
