Affect, Power, and Institutions by Millicent Churcher
This volume advances a comprehensive transdisciplinary approach to the affective lives of institutions theoretical, conceptual, empirical, and critical. With this approach, the volume foregrounds the role of affect in sustaining as well as transforming institutional arrangements that are deeply problematic.Millicent Churcher is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie fellow at Freie Universität Berlin, and an honorary research affiliate of the University of Sydney. Millicent's research draws together insights from affect and social imaginary studies as well as institutional theory to explore how institutions, imaginaries, and affects intersect to support or obstruct social justice outcomes.
