A flashlight psychogram of universities working in the fields of art and design, technology and science

The universities are in crisis. Is that really still the case? Or is not our entire world off kilter if we trust predictions of global warming, the digitalization of our bodies and environment, and associated issues of privacy and civil rights? Knowing that the words “crisis” and “critique” are based on the same ancient Greek root, it is logical to further ask: How do we accompany our students during this time so that they take a self-confident and active stand? How do we manage to offer a space that is well secured but not too far removed from reality for students to critically create?
