28.037 - *CANCELLED* Timespacemattering: An Invitation to Create a Manifesto for Justice in Higher Education

Session Type: Workshop

Abstract

This workshop invites participants to co-create a manifesto for justice in higher education from the perspective of timespacemattering (Barad, 2007), inspired by the thinkpiece written by Penny Jane Burke (2018) on timescapes for the HECU 9 Contemporary Higher Education: Close Up Research in Times of Change 2018 international conference. In the current epoch of the neoliberal university, troubled by the multiple pressures that students and staff are subjected to, we ask what kinds of political shifts in higher education would enable us to ‘do time differently’, so as to initiate new forms of onto-epistemic justice? We propose an interactive session where participants have the opportunity to co-create a manifesto for justice in higher education pedagogies and scholarship.
