In a research context marked by performance evaluation and knowledge commodification, attempts to visualize a future Knowledge University might be understood as a “politics of refusal” in that an emphasis on multimodality (image/text) confronts assumptions about the form of academic critique, calling into question the “publish-ability” of such engagements. This essay asserts a different way of thinking about the Knowledge University in both form and function.
