ABSTRACT
In keeping with a recent wave of leisure studies focusing on race, racism, power, and oppression broadly and using a Black feminist lens, I will examine higher education’s response to COVID-19 and illustrate how the illogic of capitalism robs us of our ability to recognize that we are in crisis. Despite the lip-service of our prepared statements in the midst of this chaos our responses were actually about organizational continuity, capitalism, and reducing our value to what we were able to sustain and what our bodies were able to produce.
