I’m so grateful you’re writing and speaking about this neglected issue in academia, Loleen. Yoga nidra sessions on Zoom are no longer working for me! A big part of the emotional labour that I carry (in addition to what you’ve spoken to in your post) is the weight of not feeling supported by administration to do the work I want to do. Feeling unsupported makes the emotional labour of my work feel even more challenging to face.
(p.s. autocorrect wanted to change “administrators” to “admin traitors” and I almost let it slip 🤣)
