The 2015 CUPE strike was, however, also a moment of round the clock work, tremendous collaboration, and relating to each other differently and better. Some faculty on this listserv tithed their incomes and shared resources with their grad students who were on the picket line. Many of us feel parallels in this moment, in terms of the possibilities for working together and in our responsibilities to share resources. </span></p>
