Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)
This paper uses Occupy Candler— the occupation of Candler School of Theology from April 25-28, 2024 as part of the nationwide movement for divestment from the Israeli regime on college campuses—as a case study to examine how various conceptualizations of time are experienced by, and help orient, collectives as they imagine and fight for alternative futures. Written by a co-organizer and spokesperson for Occupy Candler, this paper engages personal narrative and media transcripts alongside various conceptualizations of time in order to examine the ways time moves differently during moments of intense disruption as part of struggles for liberation.
