Editing Teach-in (section)

==Modern events==

In the 1990s activists began a new series of teach-ins focused on the [[corporatization of education]] and on [[corporate power]] generally. These began under the name of the 'National Teach-Ins on Corporations, Education, and Democracy' in 1996<ref>{{cite web|title=Corporations And Democracy Teach-in, October, 13-19, 1996 [announcement email for Wisconsin event]|url=https://ratical.org/corporations/OctTeachin.html|website=Ratical|access-date=11 November 2016}}</ref> and continued on as the '[[Democracy Teach-Ins]]' (DTIs) of 1998, 1999, 2001, and 2002. Leading activist and intellectual figures of the 1990s, including [[Cornel West]],<ref>{{cite news|last1=Sawano|first1=Nanaho|title=Cornel West Opens Democracy Teach-Ins|url=http://www.thecrimson.com/article/1998/3/3/cornel-west-opens-democracy-teach-ins-pprofessor/?page=|access-date=11 November 2016|work=Harvard Crimson|date=1998-03-03}}</ref> [[Medea Benjamin]], [[Richard Grossman (author)|Richard Grossman]], [[Naomi Klein]], and [[Vandana Shiva]] spoke at the Democracy Teach-Ins, which were coordinated in their first years by Ben Manski. The Democracy Teach-ins were coordinated on hundreds of campuses at once, and were intended to build campus-based networks of pro-democracy activists. The 1999 Democracy Teach-Ins, in particular, played a role in mobilizing students for the [[1999 Seattle WTO protests]]; the 2002 teach-ins played a similar role in preparing for the 2003 national [[Books Not Bombs]] student strike. After 1998, the DTIs became a project of the campus syndicalist movement [[180/Movement for Democracy and Education]].

Teach-ins have more recently been used by environmental educators. The ‘2010 Imperative: A Global Emergency Teach-in’ was held on February 20, 2007, at the New York Academy of Science and organized by Architecture 2030, led by architect [[Edward Mazria]] and viewable online through a webcast.<ref>{{cite web|title=2010 Imperative Global Emergency Teach-In|url=http://architecture2030.org/2010-imperative-global-emergency-teach-in/|website=Architecture 2030|access-date=11 November 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Global Emergency Teach-In|url=http://architecture2030.org/global-emergency-teach-in/|website=Architecture 2030|access-date=11 November 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Rich|first1=Sarah|title=THE 2010 IMPERATIVE: Global Emergency Teach-In|url=http://inhabitat.com/the-2010-imperative-global-emergency-teach-in/|website=Inhabitat|access-date=11 November 2016}}</ref>
