CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS<br>
For the Journal<br>
<strong>Reimagining the University</strong></p>
<p><strong>This is not a postmortem…</strong></p>
<p>And the vote on the 9th of December was not a death throe. This is
an invitation for your theory, praxis and strategy to stimulate
discussion of what the university could be.</p>
<p>For detractors and cynics, implicit in any protest against reform is a defense of the status quo. We know this is not the case.</p>
<p>The Roundhouse Group and the Really Open University have teamed up
to produce a one-off journal edition entitled ‘Reimagining the
University’ to celebrate and document three days of happenings at the
University of Leeds. This will be displayed at
<a href="http://reimaginetheuniversity.org.uk/" target="_blank">reimaginetheuniversity.org.uk</a> We want this platform to go beyond a
static depiction of past events; in an effort to ensure this, we now
issue a second call for submissions.</p>
<p>These contributions can be in any form: essays, personal
reflections, conversations, even maps. ‘Reimagining the University’
seeks to collate the plurality of practices and theories dispersed
through active groups calling for change in Higher Education.</p>
<p>The recent response to the marketisation of higher education has
given a voice and a collective identity to a discontent stretching
beyond funding constraints. It is now time to respond as well as
create, looking for new action and dialogue for the future. We want to
open up debate, not close it down.</p>
<p>Issues to consider: What is worth salvaging from the university
system? What strategies do we have for attracting those who ought to be
sympathetic: passive academics, apathetic students, individuals outside
of the University, young people? How to operate within the academy
without being corrupted by it? What could The University be? How do we
make this happen?</p>
<p>This journal will frame the issues for an open symposium to be held at Westminster University 2011.</p>
<p><strong>Deadline for Papers February 11th 2011</strong></p>
