Affective activism: answering institutional productions of precarity in the corporate university

Includes bibliographical references.Given the context in which precarity is unevenly distributed in today's corporate university, it is important for women's studies to consider its role in bringing about higher education policy reform. Reporting on the findings of a national survey of chairs and directors of women's studies departments, this article suggests strategies for performing "affective activism" within the university through research and action, guided by feminist theory—including collaborative organic theater, institutional discourse analysis, and the drafting of position statements.
