With Dr Peter Shukie and Dr Kay Sidebottom

Peter and Kay rip the plaster from a still painful wound and ask ‘what if we are part of the problem, not the solution?’.  

Using their Shukie Sidebottom chapter edited Braidotti, R., Klumbyte, G. and Jones, E. (Eds), Posthuman Convergences: Methods and Practices. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, they propose approaches to education that resist massed gatherings in lecture theatres. These failing economic models of mass education threaten to destroy the university sector. They ask if there could be options for fair, purposeful, vital education that might allow us to respond to planetary destruction by extractive economic models made rigid through neoliberal concerns of managerialism, lost vision of educational purpose and the sterile reduction of students to customers.
