Abstract
In the age of the Anthropocene, where a patricentral academia may rush, slow co-academic communication may expand the sustaining relations of mother-researcher-hood. This chapter alternatively navigates the feminine academe with feminist, post-qualitative inquiry. It asks: How might academia be a nurturing, co-mothering event? What is this sustaining daily rhythm of mothering-with? and more. While mothering with place, children’s embodying ability to listen and respond to the world is received. Gifts of ordinary matter and immatter—the moon, dots, shearwaters, moths, swan’s call, and rhythms of slow—are a connecting thread to the (re)birth of ‘sustenance’. Experimental co-writing events, forming in body-place relations with academic mothering lives at home, are creative, jovial openings that offer academia a glimpse into ‘infinite multiplicit academic motherhood’.
