What do we mean when we use the phrase, in the real world? As
many of us are in a
state of transition between school and work, styles of work, or

we living a less real life if we dont work for a corporation?
Indeed, the dierent ways

an in#uiry into the
meanings of culturally problematic phrases like the real world,
and proper use of
time, and the ways these interplay! It will ask #uestions
concerning digital humanities,
critical pedagogy, and agency! It is an e$ploration, a
discussion, and a %ourney! &oin us!
