Abstract: Homeification refers to the intensification of the home environment through the accelerated lifestyle changes triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. These changes resulted in blurred and altered boundaries between places and new relations with spaces, things, and technologies. Drawing on multi-modal creative research with UK undergraduate students, this paper interrogates what 'home' represents, produces, and excludes for learners and learning in higher education, drawing on Braidotti to explore the entangled and subtle nature of these differences. We then recommend considering the possibilities and closures that 'home' produces for diverse learners and for universities working towards more inclusive and authentic practices, relations and pedagogies.
