Revolt is a vital and transformative process of evolution and re-negotiation, Kristeva says, and, in the face of global/local, political, worldly and ecological crises, it is critical This paper utilises the notion of revolt as an ongoing imperative to re-imagine activism through a human?posthuman framing It conceptualises the university as a living, throbbing assemblage of beings, policies and practices that are closely and often indiscernibly entangled In this assemblage COVID-19 is posited as an illustration of human and more-than-human life and uncertainty to provoke re-readings and reorientations towards policies and practices Using revolt to refocus activisms in the university, the paper argues, blurs not only the human and nonhuman but also the policy?practice boundaries
