   Glenn Rikowski's Blurbs
About me:
Dr. Glenn Rikowski: I am a Marxist educational theorist and thinker on the future of the human and social time.

I work at the University of Northampton, England, where I teach Education Studies.

My publications include:

The Battle in Seattle: Its Significance for Education (2001, Tufnell Press),

Red Chalk: On Schooling, Capitalism and Politics (2001, The Institute for Education Policy Studies) - written with Dave Hill, Mike Cole and Peter McLaren

Marxism Against Postmodernism in Educational Theory (with Dave Hill, Peter McLaren and Mike Cole) (2002, Lexington Books), and

Renewing Dialogues in Marxism and Education - Openings (edited with Anthony Green and Helen Raduntz) (2007, Palgrave Macmillan).

Information for Social Change
Glenn edited Information for Social Change Issue No.23, a Special Issue on 'Education for Social Change'.
This is the general URL for the journal:
http://libr.org/ISC/
This is the URL for Issue No.23:
http://libr.org/isc/toc.html

From 1994 to 2001, Glenn was a member of the Hillcole Group of Radical Left Educators.

With Tony Green (University of London, Institute of Education), I have ran the Marxism and Education: Renewing Dialogues (MERD) seminars, twice-yearly (May and October) from October 2002 to October 2007. There were 10 MERDs in all

I have a web site, The Flow of Ideas, at: http://www.flowideas.co.uk

I also have a blog at Wordpress, All that is Solid, which you can see at:
http://rikowski.wordpress.com

AOL terminated my 'Volumizer' blog (alomg with all their Hometown products) on 31st October 2008. However, I have a new Volumizer blog at: http://glennrikowski.blogspot.com

Glenn's Staff Profile at the University of Northampton, School of Education is at:
http://www2.northampton.ac.uk/portal/page/portal/education/home1/staff/glennrikowski

Glenn is a Peterborough United supporter.

I live in London, and I am married to Ruth Rikowski, a Marxist library and information activist. See her article on Value - the Life Blood of Capitalism: knowledge is the current key, at:
http://www.wwwords.co.uk/pdf/viewpdf.asp?j=pfie&vol=1&issue=1&year=2003&article=9_Rikowski_PFIE_1_1&id=195.93.21.68

We have three boys: Alexander, Victor and Gregory.

Short of that, I would settle for Moishe Postone (author of 'Time, Labor and Social Domination'), Steven Wilson (of Porcupine Tree) or Gee Morris (lead singer in Innocence).

Hello dear Glenn!
Since we can't expect the maestro himself to be so brash (he's actually a little shy once you really get to know him), we've decided to take it upon ourselves and do the dirty work for him...

After so many years of such heartfelt devotion, the RAUSCH album is OUT NOW and we can't help but feel compelled to provide a gentle little nudge on his behalf... or rather, proclaim it from the mountaintop!
Well, here goes..... ready?
 
BUY IT NOW!!!!
 
 
...phew...
 
that actually didn't feel so dirty :)

Hey there Glenn, long time no speak!  How's life been treating you?!

I am taking a gamble here, on the possibility that the end of my 1,769,017-year-long-tunnel-of-seclusion  (and finally a real honest-to-God Album Release Date to show for it!) might perhaps be reason enough to check in and say HELLO? :>
It would be an honor to have you on board...

...well either way I'm saying HELLO! 



Hope all is well ...

Best,

Doug
