Between 1969 and 1985, College F (aka Tolstoy College), was an anarchist educational space operating within the University of Buffalo. Standing as a utopian vision of radical and alternative pedagogy, Growing Up Absurd interviews formative and foundational members of the Tolstoy College community, offering a window into a more equitable and horizontal way of exchanging knowledge and educating people.
