Welcome to Heathwood Institute and Press, a radical academic collective of authors and researchers whose aim is to continuously and normatively break new grounds of intellectual and political thought. Formed in a similar spirit to the Frankfurt School of old, Heathwood is an entirely independent, academic project which looks to carry (post-Adornian) critical theoretical traditions forward into the 21st Century.

What you see are the beginnings of our new site, which launched at the turn of December 2011. Since its inauguration, this site is host to the various publications of the Heathwood Institute. The publishing arm of Heathwood, Heathwood Press, is the primary outlet for the writings of the Institute and its authors. This site is therefore home of both the Heathwood School and its Press. It is a place where we not only share, talk about and sell Heathwood books; but it is also the home of our weekly online publication of various essays and articles, which span all subject matter. We like to think of this site as a constantly updated interactive network for our ever-growing list of readers.

We have a few exciting publications to coincide with the launch of Heathwood, including R.C. Smith’s seminal philosophical work Consciousness and Revolt: An Exploration toward Reconciliation which has just been published. We are also delighted to announce that Heathwood’s critical series on Education is set to kick off at the turn of the New Year with the publication of Arnold De Graaff’s highly passionate and incisive presentation: Backwards into the Future (Chaos in the Classroom). This will pave the way for Beth M. Titchiner’s highly anticipated critique on the ravaged state of Education as well as her ground-breaking thesis on educational alternatives, scheduled for publication in 2012.
