Reading Guidelines

Theory is romantic (stay with me); I am endlessly captivated by the practice of weaving and threading words together into art. How we manage to organize 26 letters to craft something so profoundly moving is perhaps the greatest love letter to knowledge. Theory, I think too, is a dance—you should read theory similar to how we listen and dance to music. 

My goal, here, is to provide you with tools on how to learn how to read with intention. I am foolosophizing that MAYBE, if we learn how to dance alongside theory, we can re-learn that reading can be pleasurable and fun. 

Or maybe not, but hey, you will learn how to do it!

Now, I have never told a lie: academic books and literature are like twitter threads. The realm of publishing is the twitter app. It is a reference center, and oh my god is there gossip. But more importantly, there is knowledge production!

Stay reading,
