Abstract

This chapter unpicks a writing-assemblage: sarahlindaeileen, lindaeileensarah, eileenlindasarah. We seek to write in playful ways. Playful writing. Writing that brings pleasure, encourages rhizomatic thought. Here lies the purpose of this chapter as us-three together make sense of how our writing-assemblage is created and how we can write playfully to produce more than just lines of writing that count within the 21st century university.
