Youth Summer Academy (Session 1: 6/16 - 6/20)
This one-week Summer Academy introduces high-school age students to the fundamentals of Attention Activism. We will consider the transformative impact of Big Tech and "human fracking" on human life in the twenty-first century — and will equip participants with the conceptual and practical tools to serve as leaders in this growing field of academic, political, and artistic discourse.
See reflections from previous participants here: Session 2, H, E, C.
Our sessions combine seminar-style reading discussions with Practices of Attention drawn from SoRA's Attention Lab program. Over the course of the week, our young scholars will complete a creative academic work related to the politics, pedagogy, or practice of attention — this can be continued as a personal project, or adapted for college application materials.
See itineraries (with sample reading lists) from our 2024 sessions HERE and HERE.
We are seeking self-driven, creative learners prepared to act as leaders on an issue that will define the future of scholarship, politics, business, and the arts. Need-based tuition-waiver scholarships are available by application; all are welcome to apply.
Location:
Strother School of Radical Attention
