Abstract

We present "retrospective autoethnographies" as a methodology for decolonial inquiry/intervention in neoliberal institutions of higher education. Instead of inserting the autobiographical past into the present, we write of our present and our desire for a utopian future in order to begin to create an image of the New University. Together, as people raised in the post-colony and within coloniality, we begin at the negative affect as neoliberal universities surveil, audit, and discipline, but strive to imagine a New University characterized by radical hope. This article is an invitation for a decolonial intervention of radically dreaming the New University into place.
