This week Alisha wanted to title the episode “That Tenure Money”, but we really talked about Jen and Trea’s new edited collection Gaming Representation and the ways that we see (or want to see) our scholarship as activist work. The title actually comes from a great story from TreaAndrea that deals with identity, authenticity, and explaining our work as “serious” scholarship.
