lkas & @leverhulmetrust postdoc at @uofgcritstudies | research: energy cultures, literatures, transitions

I first encountered The Political Unconscious as an enthusiastic and naive undergraduate. It was like I had been shown a vast unfamiliar landscape from a great height. It was estranging, inspiring, beautiful. It taught me how to read and think. It changed my life. RIP Jameson.

@Arbeit_Fish john milios and paul blackledge in the marx and contemporary philsophy book discuss it a bit, but don't really resolve the problem

[Harry Pitt Scott @harrypittscott]

Today, Nov 24, my colleagues & I on STP contracts finally got paid... for our hours in October. Hours in November are approved but we don't get them until late December. This absolutely doesn't help already precarious workers. Support the strikes. @WarwickUCU #ucurising

[Harry Pitt Scott @harrypittscott]

I'm a Dr - yesterday I passed my PhD viva without corrections. I had a wonderful conversation with my examiners, @szemanimre and Michael Niblett, as challenging as it was stimulating. Thanks to everyone involved for all the support and celebrations.

@MattFlisfeder hey Matthew, I'm trying to request your new book for my university library but the book website has no purchase link for a digital copy. Any idea when it will be available? I'm very much looking forward to reading it!

'Raymond Williams on Shakespeare' is now available on our YouTube channel. He discusses teaching Shakespeare, television news, the 'antique ceremonials' of the British state, and the containment and confinement of active democracy...
