Another excellent episode. I took a whole class about including that positionality stuff in the English/Rhetoric department (filling a req). GREAT critique and always a delight to listen to you!
Thank you guys for the effort. In a totally unrelated case, I object to Colin's use of the term "woke right" because there's no such thing. I do, though, agree with his point about not elevating Whiteness to counter-act racial division by the political Left.
Reading novels as an "academic" argument is used a lot in SoC8 as justification for voluntary body mutilation. eg. Handy, A. B., Wassersug, R. J., Ketter, J. T. J., & Johnson, T. W. (2015). The sexual side of castration narratives: Fiction written by and for eunuchs and eunuch “wannabes.” The Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality, 24(2), 151–159.

Thanks Corinna! So glad you enjoyed it.

Well, we can agree to disagree about the aptness of that term!
If they are using fiction, why do they actually skip the good literature? Ursula K. Le Guin "The Left Hand of Darkness" would work better, I guess :-)
