Publisher's Synopsis
Universities and art schools alike have been subjected to the pressure of recent austerity politics and the ongoing attempt to transform higher education on the basis of neo-liberal principles. In this context, there is an urgent need to conceive of alternative frameworks and methodologies of study whether this is within, outside or at the margins of academic institutions. This book examines what is currently at stake in education through a series of conversations with artists, theorists, activists and educators who are all actively involved in developing new models of study.
