Chow explores the intersection of leadership, innovation, and the humanities within contemporary Western universities, questioning the benefits and implications of current administrative discourses. Utilizing Foucault's concept of "outside," she critiques the biopolitics of literary studies and addresses issues such as race, sound, and self-entrepreneurship. Advocating for a nonutilitarian approach, she emphasizes the importance of processing diverse texts and forming viable arguments, ultimately urging a re-examination of knowledge production that values inquiry over predetermined answers.
