Critical Knowledge and Praxis - REMINDER

CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE AND PRAXIS - REMINDER
ANGLIA RUSKIN SEMINAR
May 13th 2015, 3.30-6.30pm. 
Marconi Building, Room 104, Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford Campus.

Professor Dave Hill and Cassie Earl and the Department of Education are delighted to invite you to a special session of the CEJ (Critical Education and Justice) Research Group at Anglia Ruskin University:

Critical Knowledge and Praxis
With Professor Mike Neary, Dr. Sarah Amsler & Dr. Joss Winn from the University of Lincoln

The seminar will explore the fate of critical knowledge and praxis and how it might have a role in progressive politics and revolutionary struggles against current injustices created and exacerbated by the violence of capitalist abstractions: Money, the State and its other institutional forms, e.g. the neoliberal university.
A key issue for the seminar will be the extent to which it is possible to operate as a critical scholar within a neo-liberal university, and to what extent it is necessary to develop other social institutions to carry through with the implications that form the substance of our work.
