Well, the Symposium itself has drawn to an end with an impressive final two keynotes by Kathleen Lynch and Alison Phipps. But the discussion is only beginning as this event raised questions, challenged assumptions and sowed the seeds of doubt about our current path. Over the coming months we will use this blogsite to post thought-provoking articles, links to interesting papers and presentations and identify news items and reports of relevance to the struggle to carve an alternative conception of what higher education could be.
Thank you to all those who participated and we look forward to meeting again. In the meantime please subscribe to this site using RSS feeds (if you know what that means), enrol for email updates (coming soon) or simply pop by in your browser from time to time.
