1/4 Tried to watch the Radical with Amol Rajan Today #Podcast for the #BBC. The episode on social mobility with Joe Seddon, founder of #zerogravity
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002rgj9
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m002f1d0/radical-with-amol-rajanTruly dreadful: in the sense of being both bad and frightening.
Apparently, there are some #universities just not worth attending and some #university degree courses not worth taking – because they fail to deliver sufficient economic benefit for both society and individual students-as-consumers, and can therefore be judged as being of ‘poor quality’. In many cases, it seems, doing an apprenticeship is preferable to attending a ‘less selective’ university.
What, exactly, is radical about this? Especially when one considers that, historically, it has been at such universities that many people from working- and lower-middle-class backgrounds have encountered radical economic and political ideas, often through fields such as media and #culturalstudies and #CulturalTheory

The recording of my discussion about Defund Culture on Breaking Culture Live is now up on YouTube here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QbYJ2JwSn4
Defund Culture: A Radical Proposal is available open access on a CC4r basis in a variety of formats: https://www.mediastudies.press/defund-culture-a-radical-proposal
'Drawing on contemporary debates around platform capitalism, cultural #elitism, #openaccess publishing and the crisis of the #humanities, Defund Culture makes the case for a bold rethinking of how cultural production is organised and resourced. Rather than defending existing institutions in their current form — or merely calling for incremental reform — it proposes a strategy of defunding as redistribution: redirecting resources, authority, and legitimacy toward more community-led, experimental, and socially responsive forms of cultural practice.'
