| about cssn |
CSSN is the umbrella organization for all left and progressive groups on campus. We work to unite campus activists and organizers by providing a site for the free flow of ideas and strategies between and across activist clusters. More materially, we provide resources and support for activist efforts, on campus and off. CSSN also serves as the public face of Columbia activism in New York: we help students to get in touch with radical movements in the greater city, with which they might otherwise have difficulty getting in touch. Thanks to CSSN, we have built the left into a major force at Columbia. Some of the information here, especially organizational contacts are out of date. Updates to this webpage are coming soon. It you are interested in the mailing list please check below. If you are interested in finding out more about CSSN or getting involved please email Bryan Mercer

| scholarship |
The Columbia Subversive Scholarship Archive is a
repository for all politically- and socially-aware academic work that is
progressive, antiauthoritarian, feminist, or egalitarian. It aims to be a
resource for future students interested in the political history of the
university, or for current Columbians who want to expand the political
dialogue on campus. If you are interested, check it out, read the papers
there, and submit some of your own. See the page for
more details.

| notes |
If your group is interested in becoming part of the network, or if you have any questions about CSSN, please email our steering committee. CSSN used to publish a periodical journal, The Instigator, but the latest issue is from April 2000. You may wish to visit the Instigator archives. You may have use for Columbia's website, a campus map, or the Columbia directory. We've got an archive of old stuff that some people may find interesting. Perhaps you would also like to watch Columbia Revolt, a film about the 1968 CU takeover: Part I, Part II. The original webmaster was ben, but then the revolution came, eliminated masters (web and otherwise), and installed mike and nate as your (sometimes) friendly web gnomes. The site is generated by a perl script, which we're releasing as Free software if anyone's interested. Best viewed with any browser. Level-A conformant to W3C-WAI Accessability Guidelines. Valid XHTML 1.0!
