Description:	Every time writers publish their ideas, they take risks—they expose themselves to criticism and praise, to challenge and support, to opportunities for (sometimes painful) growth. It’s especially risky to write in ways that challenge the dominant disciplinary norms, a fact many great thinkers have encountered in their quests for knowledge and progressive change. My project endorses many norms in my discipline—like the importance of using direct textual evidence to support claims about literature and culture, the need for accurate, consistent systems of citation, the assertion that representations have a direct, but complicated relationship to lived existence, and the claim that creative, artistic production is both valuable and necessary to human life. I join with feminist writers working in various disciplines in revealing the operation of patriarchy in representation and culture, an approach which, while perhaps not universally accepted, is certainly routinely practiced and endorsed across disciplines and campuses nation-wide. These are not moments of great risk for me, I think. But there are two instances in which I do, perhaps, risk something.
