Is Writing with Emotions Dangerous? | Ida Bencke | Part Two

Can writing with emotions be risky in academia? And if so, for whom? In this second part of the conversation with PhD fellow and curator Ida Bencke, Academic Feelings explores vulnerability, power, and the absence of infrastructure for collective care and trust. Host Rosa Marie Frang and Ida unpack emotional honesty as a form of resistance—and discuss the risk of turning feelings into a commodity in the attention economy.

Ida Bencke is an Art Curator and PhD Fellow at The University of Copenhagen and part of these projects Hosting Lands and Laboratory for Aesthetics and Ecology.
