Summary: "From 2016-2018, teachers and students at the State University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil found themselves at the center of a crisis. A new right-wing government suspended payment of staff salaries and student scholarships and stopped funding basic maintenance. Through a multitude of voices, this book tells the story of how the university's design school reacted to the crisis: not with despondency or despair, but by embracing hope and promoting a series of radical teaching experiments. Case histories provide alternatives to conventional forms of design teaching, proving that education can be a site for democracy and the practice of freedom"
