Abstract

Abstract:This essay takes the form of a dialogue between Natalie Loveless and Carrie Smith, both professors at a large western-Canadian research-intensive university undergoing restructuring prompted by budget cuts. Together they ask how feminist collaboration can work to resculpt academic political spaces. Though both agree that large-scale action is needed, they also argue for the value of insurgent, modest, local modes of collaborative resistance that operate in the cracks of the neoliberal university.Beginning from their experience navigating the dual threats of COVID-19 and radical budget cuts as professors in academic leadership positions, they make a claim for an anti-racist, feminist university that is responsive in its capacity to nurture generosity, care, and creativity. Together they invite readers to be attentive to the conditions necessary for any true critical collaboration to take place, listening for and attuning to what Sarah Sharma has called "brokenness" (2020)—those places where things are not working from the perspectives of patriarchal power and where those committed to feminist anti-racist/ableist/speciesist university spaces might want to linger.

裂缝中的调谐:女权主义合作和大学作为破碎的机器
摘要:本文以Natalie Loveless和Carrie Smith两位教授之间的对话为形式,她们都是加拿大西部一所大型研究型大学的教授,由于预算削减,这所大学正在进行重组。她们共同探讨了女权主义合作如何能够产生学术政治空间。虽然两人都同意需要大规模的行动,但他们也认为,在新自由主义大学的裂缝中运作的反叛的、温和的、地方的合作抵抗模式的价值。从他们作为学术领导职位的教授应对COVID-19和大幅预算削减的双重威胁的经验出发,他们主张建立一所反种族主义、女权主义的大学,并在其能力上培养慷慨、关怀和创造力。他们一起邀请读者关注任何真正的批判性合作发生的必要条件,倾听并协调莎拉·夏尔马(Sarah Sharma)所说的“破碎”(2020)——那些从父权的角度来看事情没有起作用的地方,以及那些致力于女权主义、反种族主义/残疾主义/物种主义大学空间的人可能想要停留的地方。
