Current Research Projects:

Slowing Down (in) Academia
The aim of this collaborative project is to further our understanding of the normative habits of the university in terms of speeds and time-management, by explicitly naming the consequences such norms have on students and teachers, and by pointing at the contradictions within the institution. In doing so, we wish to contribute to imagining and plotting new feminist and critical strategies to live (in) the university, if not to refuse and undo what the neoliberal university is and does altogether.
