Conversations on higher education: exploitation, alienation and transformation
This Politics People and Place podcast initiates a timely conversation on higher education in the UK context and beyond. Pinar E. Donmez (https://www.dmu.ac.uk/about-dmu/academic-staff/business-and-law/pinar-donmez/pinar-donmez.aspx) (Lecturer in International Relations) and Adrian Bua (https://www.dmu.ac.uk/about-dmu/academic-staff/business-and-law/adrian-bua/adrian-bua.aspx) (Lecturer in Urban Politics) from the Department of Politics, People and Place are joined by Richard Hall (https://www.dmu.ac.uk/about-dmu/academic-staff/health-and-life-sciences/richard-hall/richard-hall.aspx) (Professor of Education and Technology) from the School of Applied Social Sciences. The topics cover exploitation, extraction, alienation and anxiety that are manifest in the everyday practices of labouring in universities today, the underlying structural transformations of higher education that have informed and accelerated these dynamics; and possibilities for disruption, alternatives and transformation in this context. The contributors touch upon the current developments unfolding during the pandemic, redundancies of precarious university workers, the ongoing strikes in Leicester and Liverpool universities with the hope to advance and deepen these conversations further in the period ahead. @AdrianBua (https://twitter.com/adrianbua), @DMUpolitics (https://twitter.com/DMUpolitics), @HallyMk1 (https://twitter.com/hallymk1), Richard Hall's Space (http://www.richard-hall.org/), The Hopeless University: Intellectual Work at the end of The End of History (http://mayflybooks.org/?p=302), @DmuEducation (https://twitter.com/DmuEducation)
