Hey Kris,

It would be great to have your paper—looking
Forward to reading it—  And, I agree with Julian’s
point, or my take on it, that is, we need creatively dynamic and
fluild methodological approaches to capture and better understand
A constantly changing social and cultural world—  So, just to share,
at present I’m in the middle of Karen Barad’s work—she draws from
Her understanding of quantum physics to consider agency and identity—it’s
fun stuff—
