Building our critical community

Thank you to all of you who have spent time this year building the critical pedagogies project with us. We know the demands that the colonial capitalist university makes on your time and are so heartened by the fact that you push back by spending time with us!

Special thanks go to Caitlin Heppner, who gave this year’s annual lecture ‘Tethered to the grid and rendered intelligible’. If you missed Caitlin’s lecture, you can now listen to it through the website here. Remember that you can always catch up on past lectures, whether as a teaching or research resource, by listening to the online archive.

Thank you also to Annapurna Menon, who led us through a critical, joyous, and restorative afternoon of zine-making last week. Annapurna’s workshop brought our year to a hopeful and energetic end.

Over the summer Dale, Jennifer, and Mrinalini will be planning next year’s readings, lectures, and workshops. If you would like to suggest topics or readings for the reading group, speakers for the annual lecture, or facilitators for the summer workshop, please do let us know in the comments. Our aim is to educate ourselves about critical practices that help us build a different kind of university than the one we have now. If you know of practices, thinkers, texts, podcasts, art, or anything else you think we should be reflecting on, please do share!
