Volume VI, 22 Readings on Research, Activism, the Academy and Conduct, is part of an occasional series of educational readers by the Think Tank that has yet to be named. This reader is created as part of the conference Open Engagement: Making Things, Making Things Better, Making Things Worse.
In working on this reader we’re interested in what it means to research and how to implement one’s findings in a socio-political context. How does one breech the barriers that render theoretical inquiry and expression useless? What is the role of the student? What is the role of the intellectual? What might the researcher look like / create if she exists outside the academy? How are we implicated in activist projects and communities? We’re interested in thinking through what it means to embody research and producing affective action in its wake.
