thinking about @IBJIYONGI& #39;s points that academe reproduces itself like church/priesthood. & how this might be why people feel guilt if they leave academe (like being cast out of a religion or a cult). But it is an industry. You deserve better than echos of the Catholic Church.
@IBJIYONGI helps me to understand better why I do NOT have to approach my job as if it were a priesthood or calling. Instead, it& #39;s a job. Labour. I need to shake my weird prostrations to the disciplines I belong to and remember that these spaces are rooted in dispossession.
