About this book
Reviews
“This is a rich collective resource for thinking differently about education. It is the very demonstration of our cooperative powers to teach and learn from each other directly in a social experiment that escapes the enclosures of the university, the college, and the school. This collection is proof of our undiminished powers of study together.” (Stefano Harney, Professor of Strategic Management Education, Singapore Management University)
“The editors have collated a remarkably diverse range of contributions all pointing at the struggles against education enclosures, and the powers of educational commons. The proponents of the ‘edufactory’ are finally finding its critical nemesis.” (Massimo De Angelis, Professor of Political Economy, University of East London, UK)
