Our session will put two keywords in relation that are essential to the fight ahead in higher education and beyond: study and struggle. How can we turn discussions about what we read and think into discussion for action? How does action lead to new forms of critical analysis? We will discuss how we imagine our shared work in the new collection, University Keywords, can be used as a vehicle for organizing and for thinking.
