Description

From 1968 to 1975, one eighteen story high-rise was the heart of Canada's counterculture. Rochdale College in Toronto was jammed full with leftist organizers, hippies, draft dodgers, students, artists, and others just looking for a good time. Rochdale wasn't really a "college." It was something much bigger: it was an experiment in radical politics, free education, communal living, and more. However, was this an experiment worth doing? We investigate with a special documentary presentation.

This is about ‘arts and letters,’ but for the kind of people who might hack a dart. We cover public intellectualism and the politics of academia from a left perspective. Each week, we interview thinkers about key debates that are relevant to the left. We discuss politics, culture, and intellectual history.
