I tend to think in pictures, often when I’m listening to a seminar or reading a journal article or planning a piece of writing, I take my notes in cartoon form, drawing little pictures, arrows, cartoon like headings. These presentations do the same, very effectively. It makes me think perhaps it’s time to go back to chalk and do the same when teaching or presenting. Anyhow, for your summer viewing, two great RSA animates; one on David Harvey speaking about the crisis in capitalism, one on Philip Zimbardo speaking about orientations to the past and the present (and on technologies impact on our perspectives on time). Also, a song about Marx.

Thanks for this, Aileen. It’s fantastic! I’ve been preoccupied with these questions and issues, too, but popular reaction is interesting: “You leftie academics should stop interfering in the real world and get on with that you’re paid to do”. Of course, what we’re paid to do is produce graduates for jobs that aren’t there. Hmmm.
