In this podcast episode, Tamryn McDermott engages in a conversation with Tyson Lewis and Peter Hyland, the authors of the book, Studious Drift: Movements and Protocols for a Postdigital Education, which was published earlier this year by the University of Minnesota Press. Lewis and Hyland engage readers in questions such as, “What kind of university is possible when digital tools are hacked for a more experimental future?” From the book jacket: “The global pandemic has underscored contemporary reliance on digital environments. This is particularly true among schools and universities which, in response, shifted much of their instruction online. The virtual classroom opens opportunities to move beyond familiar learning practices toward radical digital possibilities for education.Studious Drift revives the relationship between studying and the generative space of the studio in service of advancing educational experimentation for a world where digital tools have become a permanent part of education. Drawing on Alfred Jarry’s pataphysics, the “science of imaginary solutions,” this book reveals how the studio is a space-time machine capable of traveling beyond the limits of conventional online learning to redefine education as interdisciplinary, experimental, public study.”Additionally, here are a few of the links that were mentioned within the episode.

Stay tuned for the whole series!Theme and other music by Sean Balick: "Our Own Melody" by the Piano Moves, from Blue Dot Sessions. Join us next time when Ronald Young Jr. joins me to explore curiosity in storytelling - it's a curious tale.
