Abstract

This chapter walks with feminist new materialism in the ruins of the corporate university in crisis to let the air in. Walkingwritingthinking with feminist care is an act of survival and resistance and which requires staying with the trouble. Embodied entanglements of walking with nature and non-human others stand in contrast to the erosion of academic values, freedom of speech and the production of knowledge. This is a writing beyond ego-centric accounts of the self, a writing that requires staying with the ruins. Becoming ethically and affectively ruined and responding in generous and curious ways has the capacity to see universities as agents of social change.
