Walkshop: arming academia – tracing the military-industrial-university complex

Interactive brainstorming session and guided ‘theory’ tour around Cambridge, exploring historical and contemporary entanglements between the University and the Military-Industrial Complex. The group will be taken on a walkshop around different sites with links to the military and weapons manufacturing, highlighting the co-optation of biological science, visual and audio technologies, predictive technologies and AI, ethnography/anthropology, and social science for military use. The group will then spend the afternoon brainstorming and discussing the militarisation and potential demilitarisation of academia.
