Richard Barbrook is an academic in the School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Languages at the University of Westminster.

Early life and education

Barbrook was born in Nottingham in 1956 and grew up in Canterbury, where his father taught US politics at the University of Kent.[1]

He studied for a BA in Social & Political Science at Downing College, University of Cambridge, an MA in Political Behaviour at University of Essex and a doctorate in Politics & Government at University of Kent. {{Citation needed|date=December 2009}}

Barbrook joined the Labour Party in 1980, aligning himself with the Bennite left within the party.[1]

Career

In the early 1980s, he was involved with pirate and community radio broadcasting. Helping to set up the multi-lingual Spectrum Radio station in London, he published extensively on radio issues during this period.[2][3]

Having worked on media regulation within the EU for some years at a research institute at the University of Westminster, much of his material was published in his 1995 book Media Freedom. In the same year, he became the coordinator of the Hypermedia Research Centre at Westminster's Media School and was the first course leader of its MA in Hypermedia Studies. {{Citation needed|date=March 2012}}

Working with Andy Cameron, he wrote the essay "The Californian Ideology"[4][5] a pioneering critique of the neo-liberal politics of Wired magazine. His other important writings about the Net include "The Hi-Tech Gift Economy",[6] "Cyber-communism",[7] "The Regulation of Liberty",[8] and "The Class of the New".

In 2007, Barbook moved to the Social Sciences School of the University of Westminster [9] and published his study of the political and ideological role of the prophecies of artificial intelligence and the information society Imaginary Futures.

The Media Ecology Association selected Imaginary Futures as the winner of the 2008 Marshall McLuhan Award for Outstanding Book of the Year in the Field of Media Ecology.[10]

Richard Barbrook is a founding member of Class Wargames and co-wrote the script to the group's film: Ilze Black (director), Class Wargames Presents Guy Debord's The Game of War.[11]

During the 2016 Labour leadership election, Richard worked with James Moulding and the Newspeak House community to author and launch Jeremy Corbyn's Digital Democracy Manifesto.[12]

In May 2017, he assisted in the development of the viral 2017 General Election videogame CorbynRun.[13] Based on the success of the game, the political game studio Games for the Many launched, for which Richard now works as a political strategist.

In November 2017, Richard Barbrook began working with the Labour Party on digital democracy and games. His work focuses on preparing the Labour for government through crisis planning and role-playing of future scenarios that may occur after a potential Labour election win.[14]
