This after *checks the next page* UCU members voted to reject a pay offer and go on strike.

Truly, UCU Commons have simply too sophisticated an understanding of democracy for a stupid ECR like me to follow.

I also wanted to suggest “Can The Monster Speak?” by Paul Precaido and maybe his earlier book Testo Junkie (published under their dead name), although I haven’t read the latter but have heard good things!

Thanks for the list! A hot take on my part but I wonder if Bodies That Matter is a better Butler choice than Gender Trouble? Mostly because I think the intro is a killer summary of the big ideas in GT and covers a big critique of GT (the perceived lack of engagement with materiality).

This was particularly difficult with games studies, where there are only a handful of major journals and a short history. Google Scholar was basically useless for keeping up or seeing what everyone was reading.

I’m not yet published, but am working on it. Can I be added?
