Summit Chair:
\nR. Trebor Scholz (Department of Culture and Media, Eugene Lang College
\nThe New School for Liberal Arts)<\/p>\n

A continuation of The New School’s Biennial Politics of Digital Culture
\nconference series, MobilityShifts will explore deinstitutionalized,
\nself-directed learning. This combination of educational and
\ntechnological changes provides a stark incentive for students to step
\noutside the academy to meet their learning goals. Unsurprisingly,
\ndeinstitutionalized, self-directed learning is not new. In 1915, one of
\nthe founders of The New School, John Dewey, emphasized that education
\ndoes not only take place in schools and that it ought to prepare
\nlearners for democratic citizenship. Austrian philosopher Ivan Illich
\nfought to de-school society following his belief that students learn
\nwithout and often despite their teachers. Jacques Ranci\u00e8re emphasized
\nemancipated learning and Joseph Beuys mobilized the concept of the
\nsocial sculpture. Today, the 1970s model of the free, anti-institutional
\n\u201cuniversity\u201d meets new learning opportunities provided by digital media.
\nMobilityShifts explores these changing locales for learning, from
\nlibraries, after school programs, museums, and abandoned barbershops.
\nSome Do-It-Yourself learning projects presented at the summit include
\nThe Free Slow University of Warzaw, Edu-Factory, The School of
\nEverything, The Public School, Bruce High Quality Foundation,
\nCybermohalla in India, SuperCool School, Universidad Experimental, P2P
