University of the Commons

A key starting point of our commonization efforts is the establishment of RIT University of the Commons, which aims to break the learning process free of the increasing limitations of academic institutions. We hope to provide a space of collective and critical inquiry, learning and teaching that is more responsive to social problems and struggles that emerge from them.

The RIT University of the Commons will feature:

  • Topical reading lists & bibliographies
  • Online courses
  • Podcasts
  • Lectures, panels & discussions
  • Workshops & conferences
  • Summer schools
  • Language schools
  • Mentorship programs
