My Monster Manual

Not quite, but here is a rare occasion where my professional life has *some* connection with fantastical, gameable content.

Later this year - just in time for your Christmas lists, hopefully - Routledge will publish a book I have written with Jamie Lewis on the sociology of Bigfooting.

To be fair, Jamie did most of the actual research, which involved well over a hundred interviews with Bigfooters - current, former, and even disillusioned - as well as a other people in the orbit of knowledge making re: Bigfoot - sceptics, academics, etc. What we have tried to do is reconstruct the rationality of Bigfooting as a knowledge making community, to treat it fairly and seriously, as Bigfooters themselves take the subject seriously.  

We published a precursor paper in Cultural Sociology last year, which is Open Access so anyone should be able to read it, should they wish.
