Academic Farm

We reproduce here the main figure from Selavi Turecensis' 2024 article. Here the abstract:

'A fable inspired by Orwell’s Animal Farm is used to present a caricature of current academia, its demise and its new vision as seen from 2050. Expanding bureaucratization and commodification in Academia with goals detached from societal and local needs are tied with north-south relations characterized by extractivism. A torus (doughnut) serves as a graphic framework of a sustainable conception of academia that is inspiring, socially engaged, and promotes societal and human health'. - CHELYOPS - Berichte aus der Paläontologischen Sammlung in Tübingen.
