“These aren’t ‘soft’ alternatives to ‘hard’ research. They are different technologies of knowledge that can access realities other methods miss.”
Excellent piece on the need for plural & inclusive visions of knowledge creation.

They also undermine our efforts to care for one-another.
Although in challenging times that's exactly what we have to do.

Can anyone recommend an academic audiobook that was well done? Looking for a good example of how to handle citations, footnotes, bibliography, etc. in audiobook format. Ideally an academic monograph. Please only recommend if you've read the audiobook and thought it was well done.
