Radicalising Sex & Consent on Campus
In May 2012, the Queer & Women's Departments of Melbourne University put on Rad Sex & Consent Week for the second time, aimed at re-educating and re-thinking cultures of sex, desire, relationships and most importantly, consent. A young Liberal student didn't get the memo on consent, and without asking participants, recorded a workshop called Arsehole Education & passed it onto the Herald Sun. The article in the Herald Sun claimed that there was controversy and "furore" over Rad Sex & Consent Week.
Listen to the voices of students who attended a range of Rad Sex & Consent Week workshops.

Debt – part 3
February 17, 2012
by blazingtextbooks
The student is not home, out of time, out of place, without credit, in bad debt. The student is a bad debtor threatened with credit. The student runs from credit. Credit pursues the student, offering to match credit for debt until enough debts and enough credits have piled up. But the student has a habit, […]

If the Great Financial Crisis was a person (shaking the world with its first crying breaths circa 2008) it would already be talking - and if you asked it about education it would probably say 'cuts', 'higher fees' and 'less places'.
