In recent works on intimacy and home in South Africa, scholars question the assumptions about where 'home' ends, and who counts as 'family'. In calls for curriculum change and the transformation of the university (discourses that were about access for both black studentsandblack faculty), these questions of affiliation and 'home' have played a prominent role. In the student protest movement of 2015 and 2016, for example, a recurring discourse was to invoke 'our mothers, the domestic workers'. This was partly an attempt to forge links between the students' demands and those of casualized cleaning and catering staff on campus, but the invocation of 'our mothers, the domestic workers' also underlined the lineage of the university as one associated with 'the big house' and many black students' feelings of being tolerated, at best, in spaces that historically did not imagine them as full citizens, but instead as marginal to the home that is South Africa
