Post-Corona University

From an accelerated push to online teaching, to the further casualisation of academic and support staff, to the renewed pressure on seemingly ‘useless’ disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, it would appear that in the current moment of pandemic, the university as we know it is yet again under threat.
For academics this is a moment of reflection — but not only: rather than helplessly bemoaning the ills of neoliberalism, what are concrete steps we can take to resist this erosion and rethink the role of universities (especially in the social sciences) in the formation of real intellectual communities and for society at large?
