"Any hopes that universities might be places for the creation of new forms of freedom, self-actualisation, social wealth, or even public good, are marginalised by the imposition of precarious existences inside anxiety machines that catalyse overwork and ill-being (Hall and Bowles 2016). These are amplified by the harassment, marginalisation and discrimination felt by certain
bodies, alongside cultures of silence. Increasingly, those who work inside universities have either to become self-exploiting or self harming, or to deploy enough cognitive dissonance to overcome the lack of authentic belief that another world might be possible"
