Discourses of dissent was a afternoon symposium organised by some of the people behind the Campaign for the Public University, and was seen as a response to some of the protests, occupations and debates around the future of the university in its current state. Mark Carrigan (one of the organisers and a PhD student at Warwick) asked if I would help out with capturing of the content from the day and I happily obliged. It also gave me the chance to get some more practice capturing/editing down video from events (which I’ve not really done on an ad - basis, damn formal media production training freak out), as well as providing a full record of the day’s talks.
I was going to try and live blog it as well – but as you can see from the videos, much of this dialogue is much more complex than what can be captured as tweets (which got me thinking about all sorts of things about what happens when concepts are reduced to this form for concision and retweeting). Also, I think by capturing the talks in their pure form allows for the opportunity for dialogue which hasn’t been passed through the bias of a live-blogger.
Ah, increasingly meta as always. Anyway – all videos are available below. More details of future events of this nature will be posted on the discoursesofdissent.com website.
