ABSTRACT
This roundtable emerged through two in-person workshops in Warsaw and Vienna (2023), as well as written correspondence. It elaborates on questions, theories, and topics explored in the individual chapters and provides further reflections on the relationship among the concepts of queer, class, and precarity both on a conceptual level and with regard to academic practice. The collective nature of this text is itself meant to performatively embody our understanding of academia as a collaborative praxis: its web of connections, interrelations, and cross-references is emblematic of our joint work as a research network in its various shapes and forms, highlighting the importance – indeed, the necessity – of such networks in times of increased individualization and precariousness within the academic sector at large and the humanities in particular.
