In this paper, we argue COVID-19 presents an opportunity for a large-scale, critical turn for faculty support. Specifically we theorize that justice rather than interest convergence is the most effective pathway to changing institutional culture, and community care is the radical transdisciplinary perspective needed to eradicate racism and other forms of subordination in the academy. Much of our theorizing is steeped in the transformative and emanicipatory approaches currently enagaged by faculty with subordinated identities that have reamined on the fringe. We argue that the work and community building of faculty with subordinated identities present deisrable possibility models for a more just professoriate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
