In this piece we discuss the workspace precarities of women of colour academics in higher education in the United States between the early 2000s and early 2020s and share some thinking about how one might labour beyond institutional structures of diversity. In particular, we offer an argument for the importance of counterspaces to the institutions that employ them and the power of collective labour outside institutional structures (in this case, sewing and quilting) for weathering shifting institutional priorities and labour inequities. We offer insights into why it might be necessary for women of colour academics to cultivate a relationship to emotional labour that is productive when it is collective and crafted away from workplace policies. We explore how crafting provides such an opportunity for what we describe as Non-Professional Productive Labour. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
