What is the "student experience" of learning and how do we know what that is? Oftentimes we project our own past learning experience despite the huge changes in material structures in those intervening decades #DonnaRantsPermalink On Internet Archive

We're onto the difference between the mediated quantitative experience of life (via like sleep trackers and learning analytics) and the phenomenological human experience of life. These kinds of analytics alienate us from ourselves #DonnaRantsPermalink On Internet Archive

The education market is filling with consultants as HE institutions shrink and reduce the services that they can provide in-house. What's the difference between a vendor selling a product and a consultant selling a service? #DonnaRantsPermalink On Internet Archive

I think the difference is in how they approach 'learning' whether as a capitalist product involving exchange and transaction or as a process / relationship involving human engagement and the social #DonnaRantsPermalink On Internet Archive

How do universities say 'no' to the marketplace model? How do we push against this model being imposed on us. We work collaboratively and collectively and I think we do things like Birkbeck by withdrawing from global rankings #DonnaRantsPermalink On Internet Archive

But this kind of action needs collective engagement to make meaningful change. One person can't go on strike. More universities need to do a Birkbeck and withdraw from the marketplace-y rankings #DonnaRantsPermalink On Internet Archive

Gatekeeping in UK universities and the conceptual separation between 'town' and 'gown' caused by the barriers (incl. physical) that we put in place to keep the public from our (publicly-funded) universities #DonnaRantsOn Internet Archive

The rhetoric of 'free' w/r/t libraries and how vendors have appropriated this misuse of language to benefit themselves. See the NYPL and Kanopy story from this week and their positioning themselves as a 'free' service #DonnaRantsPermalink On Internet Archive

'Resilience' and 'self-care' rhetoric coming from people or institutions with power is evil. It completely leads to the individualisation and commodification of the neoliberal individual. It kills communities and the responsibility of employers to take care #DonnaRantsPermalink On Internet Archive

I think Max Stirner's egoist "anarchism" has something to answer for w/r/t this kind of individualist rhetoric's inclusion and diffusion in leftist circles.Permalink On Internet Archive
