The Flow of Ideas
Criticalists: Glenn and Ruth Rikowski now have their own website which focuses
on education, library and information studies.
It is called The Flow of Ideas and it is at: <http://www.flowideas.co.uk/>
It includes a wide variety of information, such as details about our publications,
our talks, various events that we have been involved with and are currently
involved with, a Call for Authors etc. It is great that we are able to bring
all our work together in one place like this. There is also material on Marxist
educational theory, labour-power theory, the GATS and education and libraries
- and much more!
If you are forwarding information about The Flow of Ideas to others it would
be great if you could also include the following information in the body
of the email:

Libraries, at the Lucas Arms in Grays Inn Road. London, Tuesday 27th Sep
