  • The classroom remains the most radical space of possibility in the academy. bell hooks


A seminar where participants are invited to think aloud together and collectively challenge what a seminar is for. Inspired in particular by the work of bell hooks, we call scholars, artists and writers to gather, consciously hold the space between us, and attend to open-ended questions about the use of critical thinking and what it means to delight in the space of the classroom.  

Convenors: Emily Orley (Guildhall), Clare Lees (IES), Katja Hilevaara (Goldsmiths), Joe Ford (ILCS)
