Academy of Margins: An Experiment in Learning-with

Academy
We want to learn by climbing green and flexible branches, with our feet in the niches of mutual knowledge, always careful not to step on luminescent mushrooms or newly laid eggs.
– Laura Savina

of Margins
Margins (geographical, topographical, as well as social), in opposition to centres, are spaces which are usually perceived as conservative, slow, un-creative and nostalgic. On the contrary, we like to intend them as places of radical openness (bell hooks), spaces particularly fertile with possibilities for change (Catriona Mortimer Sandilands), zones of unpredictability, at the edges of discursive stability (Anna Tsing). Margins, as well as peripheries, borders, edges, interstitial spaces and liminal zones are places of meetings, impacts and crossings, where ideas, life worlds, experiences and cultures collide and intermingle.
– from the Glossary of the Margins

The publication Academy of Margins: An Experiment in Learning-with explores the first two years of the Academy of Margins Summer School (2022 and 2023).
