One of my favourite partnerships around the Play Ethic is with Urban Learning Space, Glasgow's 'learning lab' (in the style of the MIT Media Lab), situated in the city's beautiful design centre The Lighthouse. I've produced two papers for them, and fully support their ambition to re-think learning models in the light of new technology, urban mobility, youth culture and the politics of well-being. I did my latest seminar for them, entitled Soulitarian City, and they've now been open-source enough to put the material on the web for full access. The paper is accessible here (pdf file), and Powerpoint presentation is here. If you're a visiting academic in Glasgow, I'd thoroughly recommend attending their seminar series, if you have the time.
