Dear all,
This teaching dossier emerges from a selection of the papers presented at the
Not Another Brick in the Wall symposium held at Monash University in 2019. The articles explore the potential of the video essay to offer a radical pedagogy and to open up the learning and teaching environment to creative and critical assemblages. The
articles take us across different educational contexts, from the school classroom to the university seminar, to consider again how we might best ready our students for their futures in the neo-liberal world….
Best wishes,
