| Summary/Abstract |
The question of how we can grasp entanglements and detachments as researchers who are intimately entangled with the worlds we study was never solely an issue of academic curiosity. This past year we struggled to keep up with the shifting grounds as the global pandemic escalated political crises and generated ruptures and losses in our lives, societies and universities, in ways that touched some more than others. In the midst of this disorientation, we have grappled with and failed to make sense of the politics of the present. Having the space to think through these politics with you and with each-other has meant much more to us than an academic exercise. It has held the space for us to think, feel and make sense together, entangled within a power-laden and at times alienating university system that nevertheless contains the possibility for different, if not better, realities.
