[TheUWfarm] Student-lead seminar about Cooperatives in Society this fall!

Hey everyone,

The UW Student Food Cooperative is leading a seminar on cooperatives in the United States during Fall Quarter. We will be exploring what the cooperative model entails in concept and practice, as well asvarious organizations that utilize this model. We will attempt to illuminate the advantages and disadvantages of running a business or organization under this model.

This seminar will consist mostly of group discussions and light reading. We will meet for an hour once a week, on Wednesdays, in Smith at 12:30. The seminar is open on the Autumn Time schedule under Geography 499.

If you're interested in looking at alternative economic models, ways to organize communities, or just want to take a fun one credit course, then this is the seminar for you. Please email if you have any questions.

Best,

Teresa Barnes and Aleksandr Robbins
