This project explored functionalities of (ghostly) mastery within the radical context institutionally historical designations. We first identified designations our university campuses and then using Jackson Mazzei’s (2012) thinking with theory entangled hauntological perspectives published “material” (e.g. website articles materials on official websites) researcher generated photographs. As such purpose this is to loosen grip narrative governing designation markers located throughout learning institutions. Thus in unleashing ghosts/hauntings we offer a theoretically informed opening towards troubling vulnerability history/ies narratives spaces institutions seek to—and frequently successfully—master.
