Thinkacting through liberatory frames: (re)imagining the academy beyond
Abstract
After being burnt down by the liberal politics of the university, I call for a (re)imagining
of its structure that can offer hope for those seeking a home in academia. This thesis asks the
question, “how can we thinkact differently?” by engaging with a plurality of frames that offer
grass-roots possibilities for the students, researchers, staff, and faulty members whose identities
and politic are often targeted by the reproduction of status quo. I suggest a reaching out unto
anarchist, abolitionist, and Indigenous liberatory frames as means of moving beyond the
traditions of the neo liberal university, towards emotional, just, and actionable futurities.
