Frustrated by the lack of opportunities to research, create
learning experiences or make a basic living within the university
on our own terms, para-academics don't seek out alternative careers
in the face of an evaporated future; we just continue to do what
we've always done: write, research, learn, think and facilitate
that process for others. As the para-academic community grows,
there is a real need to build supportive networks, share knowledge,
ideas and strategies that can allow these types of interventions to
become sustainable and flourish. There is a very real need to
create spaces of solace, action and creativity. Para-academics
mimic academic practices so they are liberated from the confines of
the university. Our work, and our lives, reflect how the idea of a
university as a place for knowledge production, discussion and
learning, has become distorted by neo-liberal market forces. We
create alternative, genuinely open access,
learning-thinking-making-acting spaces on the internet, in
publications, in exhibitions, discussion groups or through other
mediums that seem appropriate to the situation. We don't sit back
and worry about our career developments paths. We write for the
love of it; we think because we have to; we do it because we care.
