Supervised by
Phillip Thurtle

<p>Thinking from inspirations of&nbsp; Deleuze, Derrida, Foucault, Marx, Nietzsche and others, readings will circulate around questions of bodies, space, and capital. We will ask questions such as: what forces are at play in the spaces that define life, our lives? What do we mean when we talk about the integrity of education? Who is capitalism? What is a gift economy? Is affect relevant?</p>
<p>We will enjoy the shared experience of exploring challenging texts, and co-creating maps of performative learning.</p>
<p>Methods will include circular and horizontal geometries of participation, cooperative rhizomatic nodal enrichment, with analytical <em>and </em>creative syntheses of knowledge.</p>
