Abstract: This essay emerges from an invited lecture that I delivered at the University of Amsterdam in 2024. My reflections include glimpses from three decades of journeying within and across diverse sites of knowledge-making: a farmers’ and workers’ movement, a theatre group and my classrooms. I ask: how do we move from the idea of remaking research to a transformational praxis through which we can co-create shared hungers for justice that refuse the borders among research, creativity, unlearning and relearning? I draw on my co-authored labours in Playing with Fire , Muddying the Waters and Hungry Translations to explore this question through concepts such as situated solidarities, radical vulnerability, hungry translations and writing-as-praxis.

Keywords: Justice; situated solidarities; radical vulnerability; hungry translations; writing-as-praxis; embodied pedagogies; classroom as theatre (search for similar items in EconPapers)
