In this article, I enter into a poetic engagement with scholars Audre Lorde, Mecca Jamilah Sullivan, and Cynthia Dillard and to explore the ways in which I seek to “rupture” normative understandings and representations of teaching and research praxis in higher education. It is an unapologetic reclamation of Lorde’s concept of the Erotic as an act of what Dillard calls (re)membering, and Sullivan’s working of queer reading practices that encourage us to expand our scholarly vocabulary beyond the “whitespace”—beyond what English prose is able to capture. In this work, I offer my own body as data as well as a framework for assessing praxis alignment through embodied analysis, answering Lorde’s call to privilege the rightness of “feeling” as true knowledge. This article is a love letter to Black feminist cultural production and a radical reimagining of the metrics of oppression that have historically been used to disconnect our bodies and minds in the name of science and best practice. It is a call to celebrate the liminal spaces that we occupy with the fullness of ourselves, and to trust our own authoring of knowledge, experience, and wisdom as educators, researchers, and scholars.

For motherscholars, M(other)work cannot be disjointed. I use the Chicana M(other)work framework to chart juxtapositions of my mothering and scholaring. I rely on testimonios that deepen the coexistence of mother and academician identities. I examine the ways that these responsibilities overlap and strengthen to give rise to my resistance stance of Chicana M(other)work in a COVID-19 context. I draw on Chicana M(other)work to elucidate the entanglements of mother-scholar and the discomforts that arose from attempting to segregate identities, working against what I developed to be my identity as a mother in the workforce. I explore the ways in which I was participating in a separatist social narrative and how these testimonios highlight the false belief that I was a mother-scholar rather than a motherscholar.

What does it mean to create familial bonds between humans and animals? Do love, mourning, and empathy matter less if they are directed toward nonhuman animals? This narrative-driven essay explores the nuances of loss during a widely precarious year, and the ways families are created and dissolved through mourning, while also addressing the socially fraught history of the “witchy cat lady.” The author, a full-spectrum doula who had previously specialized in stillbirth support, argues that empathy may offer a heightened version of itself when it demands communicating across a species difference.

This essay draws on excerpts from published obituaries, interviews, and news stories to argue that the AIDS crisis led to practices modeling a good death that have since been put in practice more broadly.

P. Santoro
This essay examines a staged production of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland reimagined through the lens of childhood sexual assault. Primarily, it serves as a pedagogical case study of theoretical and practical approaches for conceptualizing, staging, and reflecting on performance as activism. Incorporating the director’s/author’s own voice, alongside that of the cast, it creates the possibility for understanding sexual assault and theatrical creation with greater nuance and urgency, while also illustrating the work of directing in the same light as critical performative pedagogy.

Heather Kate Anderson
This poem addresses the nature of qualitative research and the difficulty faced by individuals with disabilities and limited means in accessing healthcare opportunities. Quantitative data related to a medical research study are contrasted with the broader, richer social context of the life of an individual participant. The artist statement provides context and background for the poem, including the inspiration for its composition. Ideas expressed in the poem are discussed relative to the role of medical humanities and the ways information is gathered and viewed in healthcare settings.

We often wonder whether the death of a loved one is “good” or “bad.” But framing a death as “good” or “bad” carries baggage from intuitions around well-being. By focusing on this dichotomy of well-being, we lose the opportunity to make meaning and instead generate burdens for those facing death. By examining various well-being theories, we claim that a well-being focus unjustly universalizes and moralizes the liminal experience of death. A meaning-making approach, on the other hand, allows suffering, life, and death to become transformational in positive ways while also promoting patient inclusion in conversations about the end of life.

This essay introduces the Critical Intervention forum focused on the question “Who is a good death for?” The eight contributions in this Critical Intervention forum use art, prose, performance, and critical analysis to explore this guiding question. Dying well should be for everyone, but as the contributors observe, accomplishing a good death is complicated by context, geography, relationships, politics, and ideology.
