What Does the University Feel Like?

How can the university be understood not just as a forum for the exchange of ideas and a workshop for the fashioning of knowledge, but as a venue for the circulation and reproduction of embodied affects and emotions? What are the emotional priorities that go into teaching, research and writing across disciplines? What are the pleasures of academic work? How do institutional pressures, burnout, prestige, discrimination, and other dimensions of academic life transact with affect? How are systemic inequalities based on race, class, caste, and gender produced, navigated, challenged, and transformed through circuits of embodied emotions?
