This movement currently consists of two intersecting groups: Reclaim UoA and Petty and Vindictive. The logics of finance construct students as investors and enclose the commons of the university, necessitating the creation of an 'Undercommons'. The theory of the Undercommons (Harney and Moten, 2004) suggests we must look beyond the university for progressive alternatives. The student movement must find a 'universal' response to financialisation which does not subsume the 'particular' struggles of those who make up that movement.

The organisation advocates for incarcerated people and organises for the end of prisons in Aotearoa. In its Abolitionist Demands, No Pride in Prisons outlines a number of material demands that take the path to abolition. Some of these demands refer explicitly to issues facing queer and trans incarcerated people, while others address incarceration more generally. The demands have been broken down into short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term, recognising the fact that some demands can be enacted through policy reform, while others will require a revolution in economic and social conditions. Readers are encouraged to take the demands and, alongside No Pride in Prisons and others, to make them happen.

By thinking the parasite, I try to re-member precolonial Māori discourses of what being means. Helped by new materialist thought, what I uncover is an oblique and ecological model of relations in which nothing is quite separable from anything else. Through the parasite, this paper explores posthuman pasts and futures, and gestures towards the potential for a radical revision of how we understand ourselves as subjects.
