Acknowledgements
I would like to thank to Andrea Terry and Riva Symko for inviting me to be part of the panel A Big Dull Axe Looms Large: Interrogating the Disciplinary Relevance of Art & Art History in Canada, during which I dedicated my paper to the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU/SEFPO) faculty, who were striking at the time (October 2017), and who put their bodies and livelihoods on the line to improve working conditions for part-time and full-time faculty in Ontario’s colleges. Thanks also to the many comrades I have talked with throughout the years about adjunct methods, precarious faculty survivance, and feminist solidarity across the institutional and community differences of rank and resources, including everyone who taught me how to do cabaret, but especially the Feminist Technology Network (FemTechNet), for teaching me about true collegial solidarity across differences of academic rank and situation. Thanks also to hook & eye co-editor Erin Wunker, with whom I’ve been having these conversations for many years.
