I enjoy playing with words and the written language as creative material. However, certain ‘standard’ approaches can present difficulty. Being dyslexic, academic writing and reading aren’t my mother tongue. Nonetheless, over the years, I have published 11 peer-reviewed journal articles, 7 book chapters and 5 books/edited volumes, often-times smuggling in tactics to undermine or irritate logocentric, didactic, linear and pedantic norms claiming objectivity and ‘truth’. I have also published 38 op-eds, reviews, catalogue entries and more on professional & popular platforms. I am thus delighted to have signed not one but three book contracts recently – as author of monographs Neurofuturism: How to Thrive in 2050 (20,000 words, Springer Nature, circa Q1 2024), Catalysing Change Through Artful Agitation (70,000 words, World Scientific, Q1 2025), and as co-Editor of A Handbook of Neurodiversity and Creative Research (Taylor and Francis, Q1 2025). While distinct in their tone, case studies and market and reach, the books are interrelated and in dialogue with one another. Do step forward if you are keen to find out more, help make them open access, and/or support in any way.
