Abstract
In this essay, I suggest that to best understand the future of the University and the future of higher education, we need to un-imagine it. By this, I mean that, in the current marketised conditions, universities – and the University – have become and always have been so deeply implicated in coloniality, (neo-)liberalism and market capitalism that to imagine a decolonised, anti-colonial, anti-capitalist, inclusive, and liberatory future necessitates a rejection of the institutional structures which underpin the very concept of the university. Instead, I argue for an education via the commons, what I envision as a radical, anti-University, located and embedded in localities and particularities of context, open, without walls and borders, and available to all.
