Description
The ways in which research and scholarship are co-produced, co-performed and proclaimed as particular kinds of knowledges and truths in and beyond the academy is radically changing. The capacity to write rebelliously, in varying registers and voices, tempos and volumes, as featured across this book, is boundaryless. In this edited volume, we ask new questions which simultaneously trouble and open up what the 'product' and 'performance' of academic work, words and worlds might come to be. At the heart of this book, we move between departing radically from academic writing to arriving at a new academic endeavor and transaction between reader and text driven by the invitation to open rebellion in academic research and writing.
This unique volume brings together an extraordinary range of international scholars, researchers and artists, that include contemporary social scientists, critical theorists, visual artists, poets, musicians, hip-hoppers, choreographers, activists, film-makers, theatre-makers, magicians, and circus artists from both within and outside the academy in Europe, UK, India, Africa, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. They articulate new concepts for thinking differently, generate new theories differently, and present new methods of writing differently. This book provides 'permission' to depart radically in academic writing and creative practice - particularly for doctoral and higher degree research students, and those who work alongside them as supervisors and advisors and higher research degree educators. The claim here is that rebellious departures and performances in academic research and writing are the future of academia. This book provides a series of steps toward preparing for that future.

Reviews / Votes
"Write fewer papers, take more risks (...): Researchers call for 'rebellion' against academic convention (...) which define academic scholarship, arguing that different approaches are needed in an age of climate change, COVID-19 and rising populism."- Faculty of Education News (4 June 2022), in ,
University of Cambridge
"Meet the rebellious researchers embracing rap, magic and circus acts" in order "to make their work more effective and help them spread their findings among a wider audience" by "calling for a 'rebellion' against traditional forms of output".
- Richard Adams (4 June 2022), in , The Guardian
