The recording of my discussion about Defund Culture on Breaking Culture Live is now up on YouTube here:

Defund Culture: A Radical Proposal is available open access on a CC4r basis in a variety of formats: https://www.mediastudies.press/defund-culture-a-radical-proposal

'Drawing on contemporary debates around platform capitalism, cultural #elitism, #openaccess publishing and the crisis of the #humanities, Defund Culture makes the case for a bold rethinking of how cultural production is organised and resourced. Rather than defending existing institutions in their current form — or merely calling for incremental reform — it proposes a strategy of defunding as redistribution: redirecting resources, authority, and legitimacy toward more community-led, experimental, and socially responsive forms of cultural practice.'
