This paper explores the role that conflicting rhythms of academic life and crisis have on the ability of academics to meet their commitments, such as providing support to students. Drawing from our experience in UK higher education, we argue that contemporary academic life can be seen as a constant process of being taken over by different crises. These crises tend to follow a rhythm of brief periods as emergencies subsequently operationalised into forms of ongoing, unresolved crisis. In turn, these crisis rhythms intersect with contrasting rhythms of different actors in university life, specifically that of academics, the institution itself, and students. Drawing from Lefebvre’s vocabulary of rhythmanalysis, we argue that the arrhythmia between these different groups in the university is a key part in the failure of higher education to do more than proliferate crisis. Illustrated by our experiences in student-support focused roles during the height of COVID-19 lockdowns, we explore how this particular crisis imposed itself as emergency but was then absorbed into the group of ongoing crises which impact on academic life. The paper concludes with suggestions of alternative approaches to university workload for staff and students alike, which might render university life more eurhythmic and equitable.

ABSTRACTEspousing Indigenous Research Methods including Kîyokêwin/Visiting, beadwork as an embodied pedagogical and research practice, and storytelling, this article explores the authors’ experiences working in senior academic leadership positions to support indigenization at the Royal Military College of Canada. The authors consent to learn in public and discuss opportunities for role-modeling individual leadership in institutional contexts and for building small ‘safe enough’ spaces that generate energy and momentum that have the possibility of supporting broader-scale indigenization efforts. The authors understand the call to indigenize education as a non-negotiable imperative, and argue that it is an ethical responsibility for all who live in Canada to engage intentionally in concrete acts of reconciliation – in (re)building relationships with Indigenous Peoples.KEYWORDS: Academic leadershipbeadworkpost-secondary educationstorytellingTruth and reconciliationVisiting Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsDanielle LussierDr. Danielle Lussier, Red River Métis from Treaty 1 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis Nation, is a citizen of the Manitoba Métis Federation and mum to three proud, tiny Métis. She holds a Bachelor of Laws, a Licence en Droit in the civil law of Quebec, a Master of Laws with Specialization in Women’s Studies, and a PhD in Law. Called to the bar in Ontario in 2009 following a research assistantship at the Supreme Court of Canada and clerkship at the Federal Court of Canada, she has served on the Indigenous Advisory Group of the Law Society of Ontario since 2018. Prior to taking up her position as the inaugural Associate Vice-Principal, Indigenous Knowledges and Learning, at the Royal Military College of Canada, she spent a number of years supporting Learners at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law; first as Indigenous Learner Advocate, and later as Director of Indigenous and Community Relations and Professor of Indigenous Legal Orders. Her academic research considers the development of Indigenous Legal Pedagogies for use in learning spaces, the role Indigenous Methodologies can play in the revitalization of Indigenous Knowledge Systems, and pathways to reconciliation, indigenization, and decolonization of post-secondary education. As a beadwork artist, she is keenly interested in the relationship between law and beadwork and the use of beadwork practice as a tool to (re)build community, facilitate learning, valourize Indigenous Ways of Knowing, and mobilize knowledge.James DenfordDr. James Denford emigrated from Great Britain to Canada, grew up in and around Edmonton in Treaty 6 Territory, and put down roots in the Kingston area to raise a family in the unceded territory of the Hodinöhsö:ni and Anishinaabe peoples.
