Study and Speculative Practice


This seminar will consider practices of “study” and collective forms of learning within, on the edges of, and beyond traditional education. We will engage with thinkers and artists who speculate, theorize, and enact study after school, opening conversations about social architectures for learning, radical pedagogies, and the (under)commons. We will turn to different forms of media—course catalogs, posters, films, books, and more—generated and studied within these experiments, asking: How do media and study shape one another? The course will be a space for collective thinking about our pedagogies and practices of study in and out of the classroom.
