In addition to his job of doing some of everything & directing the project strategically, James had to spend a lot of energy on reining in Peter's wicked imagination & humour and my obsessive attention to theoretical detail & making them cohere.

If it had been left to Peter, we'd have had 20 delightfully funny & insane satires. If it had been left to me, we'd have had 20 deeply theoretical & turgid legitimate papers. James had to incorporate both into a goal-orientated strategy. He only threatened to murder us both twice

I went deep into feminist epistemology and James into masculinity studies and Peter into fat studies. We suffered so you don't have to. Christlike is our sacrifice.
