Preface -- Chinese edition of Critical Pedagogy, Ecoliteracy, and Planetary Crisis: The Ecopedagogy Movement (2012)

The Deweyan Chinese educational philosopher, Tao Xing-Zi is upheld as a possible forerunner for how ecopedagogy might proceed as culturally relevant within a Chinese framework.

‘Are your children old enough to learn about May ’68?’: Recalling the radical event, refracting utopia and commoning memory.

Time and the University

For many working in the academy, the effect has been felt as a very real crisis of time, as budgets, resources and job positions are cut, and the working day is stretched to the limit. Resistance has often taken the form of struggles over wages and job security, and, by extension, over time measured in terms of the length and intensity of the working day. While such struggles are necessary, our contention is that they are not enough. Extending the distinction between kairos and chronos as developed in the writings of Giorgio Agamben, Antonio Negri, and Cesare Casarino, we wager that transforming higher education must involve more than “making more time” for our work; it must also “change” time. Only by so doing, we argue, can we realize — and expand upon — the university’s potential to interrupt the empty, homogenous time of capital and cultivate non-capitalist alternatives in the here-and-now. This paper thus makes three moves: one which critiques and analyzes the practices by which the university harnesses the creative time of living labor, making it both useful and safe for capital; a second which develops a ‘revolutionary’ theory of time that enables us to see capital not as the generative source of innovation, but instead as parasitic upon it; and a third, affirmative, move that explores experiments within and beyond the university with self-valorizing practices of collective learning, no longer as resource for state and capital, but as part of the ‘expansionary’ time of the common.

The focus will be on institutional analysis of commons, common pool resources, and related institutions for governance of knowledge and information and rights in knowledge and information.  Relevant disciplines include law, political science, economics, sociology, organizational science, information science, Science and Technology Studies (STS), and the history of science and technology, among others.

DESIGNING THE MICROBIAL RESEARCH COMMONS: Proceedings of an International Workshop

It is available freely and in pdf format at: http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=13245.

BRDI, in collaboration with the Board on Life Sciences, held an International Symposium on Designing the Microbial Research Commons at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC on 8-9 October 2009. The meeting addressed topics such as models to lower the transaction costs and support access to and use of microbiological materials and digital resources in publicly funded research, public-private interactions, and developing country concerns. The overall goal of the symposium was to stimulate more research and implementation of improved legal, institutional, and governance models for publicly funded research in microbiology specifically, and in the life sciences more generally. Additional information about the report is available at http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/brdi/PGA_050857.


The report is a compilation of that symposium’s presentations, giving an overview of the state of microbial research resource access and use in different sectors – government, academia, and industry – both in the United States and internationally. Print copies of the report may be ordered through the National Academy Press (http://www.nap.edu).
