#Rhizo15

The question is whether we have any way of breaking this circle of neoliberal encroachment into higher education where politicians (and many academics) pay lip service to inclusion and widening access and equal opportunities, while at the same time cutting funding and pushing the cost to end users.

This is a very short description of D.M.s intentions with 'cheating' Ethics and cheating are connected, you should not keep them apart.

Why do some many people want to study education?

about thinking in educational research and theorizing.

Like the old flap over board this are some results of the discussions with more than 40 persons in the life event over 16-17 januari

the slides are note of the discussion groups in this weeks life party of Rhizo14. Some good ideas and point in them.

Classic take down of 'one way thinking'--the opposite of rhizomatic thinking.

Rhizomatic research cultures The current research climate in Australian universities is one in which projects are increasingly conceived as multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, extradisciplinary, even 'wicked' (Brown, Harris & Russell 2010). A recent lead article in Campus Review (Bennett 2012) takes this as a critical shift in the academy that urgently requires attention. One effect of this increasingly interdisciplinary focus is that the traditional boundaries between disciplines seem to be blurring. Within this, the people working on these projects are also increasingly diverse, coming together from non‐traditional pathways, from different disciplinary backgrounds, and from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds, so that distinctions between local and global also seem to be blurring. One way to understand these conditions might be through the rhizomatic knowledge structures described by Deleuze & Guattari (Deleuze & Guattari 1988): perhaps it would be useful to think about this research climate as a kind of rhizomatic academic network that is characterised by connection, heterogeneity and multiplicity.

about research culture

If the question concerning where technologies come from must be understood within a political context, how are we then to understand the agency of technology? Should it be approached from a deterministic point of view or are we, since it's a question about political processes, still in control?

it is about rhizomatic education,

Is the Internet a rhizome? All the straws in the wind say 'yes' it is. Whereas mechanical machines are inserted into hierarchically organised social systems, obeying and enhancing this type of structure, the Internet is ruled by no one and is open to expansion or addition at anyone's whim as long as its communication protocols are followed. This contrast was anticipated theoretically by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari especially in A Thousand Plateaus (1980), in which they distinguished between arboreal and rhizomic cultural forms. The former is stable, centred, hierarchical; the latter is nomadic, multiple, decentred - a fitting depiction of the difference between a hydroelectric plant and the Internet.26

This paper uses complexity theory as a means towards clarifying some of Gilles Deleuze's conceptualisations in communication and the philosophy of language. His neologisms and post-structuralist tropes are often complicated and appear to be merely metaphorical. However their meanings may be clarified and enriched provided they are grounded in the science of complexity and self-organising dynamics.
