The Political Economy Society at the University of Sydney are putting out a call for interest on their upcoming student led ‘UPSWELL’ journal. If you have experience or want to be involved, join us on Wednesday 4th Oct 6PM to hear our ideas, contribute yours, and create a vision for this project.
The post UPSWELL Journal appeared first on Progress in Political Economy (PPE).
This post introduces readers to the second Special Issue we have co-edited on the umbrella theme of ‘Politicizing Artistic Pedagogies’. The first Special Issue, entitled ‘Politicizing Artistic Pedagogies: Publics, Spaces, Teachings’, was published in late 2021 in the journal Art & the Public Sphere. There was a subsequent Progress in Political Economy Forum containing several blog posts which drew on articles in that issue. The second Special Issue is now out and is entitled ‘Politicizing Artistic Pedagogies: Disciplines, Practices, Struggles’. Our editorial roles switched for the issue, with Mel taking the lead this time. This reflects the distinctive outlook and coverage of the two issues: the first has a broader, more societal scope, while the second has more of an art-discipline/practice focus. Nevertheless, as noted in our essay introducing the first issue, we still believe that ‘the two issues should be understood as complementary and thus together comprising a greater “whole”…[and] we have ensured that there are still plenty of overlaps between them’ [...].
Back in 2011, with a view to engaging students through different teaching methods, we launched a poetry competition on the core MA module "Theories and Concepts in International Relations" at the University of Nottingham. After all, Roland Bleiker has himself emphasised the role of the poetic image in challenging dominant modes of thinking and practice within International Relations. With that aim in mind, the winning poem was by Zubeda Mir that sits admirably alongside the social criticism of Benjamin Zephaniah!
