Doing Rebellious Research in and beyond the Academy: Launch

This is the launch event for Doing Rebellious Research in and beyond the Academy: a new book which challenges the “structures and regulations” that define academic scholarship, and argues that different approaches are needed in an age of climate change, COVID-19 and rising populism.

This unique volume brings together an extraordinary range of international scholars, researchers and artists, that include contemporary social scientists, critical theorists, visual artists, poets, musicians, hip-hoppers, choreographers, activists, film-makers, theatre-makers, magicians, and circus artists from both within and outside the academy in Europe, UK, India, Africa, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. They articulate new concepts for thinking differently, generate new theories differently, and present new methods of writing differently. This book provides ‘permission’ to depart radically in academic writing and creative practice – particularly for doctoral and higher degree research students, and those who work alongside them as supervisors and advisors and higher research degree educators. The claim here is that rebellious departures and performances in academic research and writing are the future of academia. This book provides a series of steps toward preparing for that future.

The book is co-edited by Pamela Burnard, Elizabeth Mackinlay, David Rousell, and Tatjana Dragovic.
