Theorist, theorize thyself

Abstract
Fishel reflects on her struggles in life. She had to teach, go to class, be a mom, put food on the table, and try to be a budding junior scholar to keep her funding as a graduate student. This additional teaching and grading, and the pressure of keeping up in an already challenging graduate program, stretched her physical endurance and overall health to the breaking point. She ended up at the downtown emergency room in the middle of the night and was diagnosed with walking with walking pneumonia. This led her to ponder that perhaps our ideas of the 'body politic' and state can be disrupted, enriched, and re-articulated, therefore enabling us to ask different questions about political community and world politics through both a new reading of old theory and the addition of new understandings of the body itself.
