Matthew Joseph O'Connell: I wholeheartedly support the engagement with new theories and political practices. This includes things I also very much enjoy critiquing, which can include identity politics, intersectionality, gender theory,. race theory, white theory.

There are often arguments about authenticity cover up underlying issues which should be brought to the fore.
