    Thinkacting through liberatory frames: (re)imagining the academy beyond by Michela Marie Pirruccio A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Health Science in Recreation and Leisure Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2021 ©Michela Marie Pirruccio 2021 Author’s Declaration I herby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revision, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract After being burnt down by the liberal politics of the university, I call for a (re)imagining of its structure that can offer hope for those seeking a home in academia. This thesis asks the question, “how can we thinkact differently?” by engaging with a plurality of frames that offer grass-roots possibilities for the students, researchers, staff, and faulty members whose identities and politic are often targeted by the reproduction of status quo. I suggest a reaching out unto anarchist, abolitionist, and Indigenous liberatory frames as means of moving beyond the traditions of the neo liberal university, towards emotional, just, and actionable futurities. iii Acknowledgements I acknowledge that the work of this thesis is largely credited to the continuum of hearts that joined me in my ongoing process to becoming. Lisbeth, you are a shinning star. Thank you for housing me in your constellation with love for the last two years—you are a human I could not imagine doing this without.

The series publishes cutting edge, socially-engaged scholarship from around the world — bridging theory and practice, academic rigor and the insights of contemporary activism. The topical scope of the series encompasses anarchist history and theory broadly construed; individual anarchist thinkers; anarchist- informed analysis of current issues and institutions; and anarchist or anarchist-inspired movements and practices. Contributions informed by anti-capitalist, feminist, ecological, indigenous, and non-Western or global South anarchist perspectives are particularly welcome. So, too, are manuscripts that promise to illuminate the relationships between the personal and the political aspects of transformative social change, local and global problems, and anarchism and other movements and ideologies. Above all, we wish to publish books that will help activist scholars and scholar activists think about how to challenge and build real alternatives to existing structures of oppression and injustice.

  • Taking Sides
    Epigraph All you see are demographics All you hear is “systems” Without undressing me down to the sum of my parts you cannot achieve that checking-your-privilege erection. You defend dogma ’cuz it’s all you’ve got left But Humanity won’t fit into data bars or scripted syllabi And won’t stick around when you can no longer see it. Undressing us all with your politics you become the most correct And also an entity you’d probably hate— could you escape for a moment. You steal our dignity and undermine our friendship When the dots connect And I see you seeing me through the activist gaze. I’m not the beating heart I feel Your eyes just reflect a female queer blob of color. Rakhee Devasthali We are nothing if we walk alone; we are everything when we walk together in step with other dignified feet.
