Economia della Cultura, 2024, issue 2-3, 391-395

Abstract: Prior to the beginning of the covid19 pandemic, a perfect storm was on the horizon for the Higher Education system in the United Kingdom. This article, a summary of conference intervention, is discussing the elements of this storm reflected on Goldsmiths University in London, one of the leading arts, social sciences and humanities Universities in the UK. Some of these influences are coming from the politics, Artificial Intelligence, geopolitics, legacies of colonialism and processes of "decolonization", marketization of education, and the treatment of arts as work. This is a contribution to the calls for rethinking of the position, form, purpose and values of the Higher Education in the light of new social, political and technological changes.
