In class rn, topic is on being a public intellectual; interesting (and upsetting) to think about trying to stake a place as a public intellectual within my field of queer and feminist video game studies.

By which I mean: there's the tension b/w academia and what I'll call vernacular theory--from devs, players, writers--but also the field is so heavily politicized and charged, safety concerns are also brought up (tbc)
