Description: While it might be clear that a global knowledge-based economy is restructuring many of the world's universities, it remains unclear how access to education can be made available to people who cannot afford to pay. I will offer peer-based technology as a promising medium for enabling democratic modes of education and training. More specifically, I will endeavour to show that the distributed nature of peer-based technologies can provide a concrete infrastructure in support of global modes of cultural production.
