About The Book

Frustrated by the lack of opportunities to research create learning experiences or make a basic living within the university on our own terms para-academics dont seek out alternative careers in the face of an evaporated future; we just continue to do what weve always done: write research learn think and facilitate that process for others. As the para-academic community grows there is a real need to build supportive networks share knowledge ideas and strategies that can allow these types of interventions to become sustainable and flourish. There is a very real need to create spaces of solace action and creativity.Para-academics mimic academic practices so they are liberated from the confines of the university. Our work and our lives reflect how the idea of a university as a place for knowledge production discussion and learning has become distorted by neo-liberal market forces.We create alternative genuinely open access learning-thinking-making-acting spaces on the internet in publications in exhibitions discussion groups or through other mediums that seem appropriate to the situation. We don’t sit back and worry about our career developments paths. We write for the love of it; we think because we have to; we do it because we care.
