I have the racism and Doctor Who essay written out longhand ready for type up, and it's just so fucking depressing that I'm really wondering if being part of this project is worth the toll on me. Is this cosmically worth it? Would anyone learn or change their minds?

(Much more than the fannish one, I meant . . . I mean, that's the world I primarily inhabit . . . oh, you know. ;-) )

I know what you mean. :)

Draft is 2000 words. Have decided to do the 1k "personal reminisce" rather than make myself even more miserable to find another 3k for academia. Although what's supposed to be academic, I don't know. Throw inthe word "post colonial"?

That would be looking at critics/theorists who've written about those issues, but the personal reminiscence seems also a useful approach to the project.

I'm really surprised nobody's written about this before (in an academic context); there's a lot there.
