Critical dialogues for learning and technology: in, against and beyond the neoliberal university

Abstract

Dialogue is the encounter between men [beings], mediated by the world, in order to name the world. (Freire, 1972, p. 88) We live in the epoch of digital reason, which has significantly altered the traditional order of things. In our epoch, yesterday’s institutions will either become slaves to corporate capitalism, or they will significantly transform in order to maintain an active role in the co-creation of the present and future. Political, social and economic pressures strongly favour the first option. (Peters & Jandrić, 2018, p. 5)
