Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Student Insurgent is a democratically organized journalistic endeavor based at the University of Oregon in Eugene. It began operating in 1989.
According to their website, The Student Insurgent's mission is to agitate and educate the student body by addressing issues which are often ignored or marginalized by both traditional news sources and many of the other university publications. The publication provides a voice for under-represented students by maintaining a safe space in print and online for radical dissent, free expression and mutual encouragement. The Student Insurgent exists to challenge oppression, exploitation and hierarchical power structures.
The Student Insurgent publishes a periodical magazine, a weekly newsletter, a blog and a series of bulletins and special issues pertinent to immediate struggles. The Student Insurgent office also operates as a zine publication and distribution center.
