310: Article Club a six-course meal w/Michel Serres and discussing parasites!


Listen Later

This article club brings back a group of colleagues for our first article club in quite some time. We are going to be talking about a really interesting paper written by Ben Williams and Mikael Quennerstedt, and the title of
that paper is dining with Michel Serres: physical education and an ethics of
the parasite. The link to the paper is in the show notes and I highly recommend you read this because it is a very innovatively written paper!

As is tradition, the person who picks the article has to give some rationale on WHY they picked the article, so, here’s my explanation.

First, the title caught my eye, then I read the abstract and it said the paper is written in the format of a six-course meal…and I was like, did I read that right?? The paper talks about outsourcing in PE (which I am interested in) but the way in which it was written, I couldn’t look away. I am envious of people who have the skill (and courage) to write like this It is what we need to mix up the reading. I honestly think that if grad students read a paper like this they would see that academic writing doesn’t have to fit the same mold over and over again!
