In Disrupted Knowledge, editors Tina Sikka, Gareth Longstaff, and Steve Walls present a collection of critical essays that interrogate social and cultural relations emerging out of the intersecting ‘disruptions’ of Covid-19 and the possibilities that these ‘disruptions’ contain.

Disrupted Knowledge: Scholarship in a Time of Change is a collection of essays that reflects the important work being done by the faculty in the School of Arts and Cultures at Newcastle University since 2020. It focuses on the intersecting disruptions of Covid-19, #BlackLivesMatter, political extremism, gender justice, the commodification of LGBTQ lives, and social media influence. Chapters in this book interrogate the themes of discourse, materiality, and affect; neoliberalism and commodification; media, citizenship, social relations and objects; the cultural politics of (in)visibility; and self-reflexivity and auto-ethnography.

Contributors are: James Barker, David Bates, Alexander Brown, Briony Carlin, Deborah Chambers, Abbey Couchman, Richard Elliott, Chris Haywood, Joss Hands, Sarah Hill, Gareth Longstaff, Joanne Sayner, Tina Sikka, Steve Walls, Michael Waugh, and Altman Yuzhu Peng.

Tina Sikka, Ph.D. (2008), is Reader in Technoscience and Intersectional Justice at Newcastle University, UK. She has published two monographs and several articles on a range of topics including gender, race, and health/environmental science; sexual ethics; restorative justice; and continental philosophy. Gareth Longstaff, Ph.D. (2015), is Lecturer in Media & Cultural Studies at Newcastle University, UK. His research is connected to queer theory, history, archiving, and the contours of how this relates to gay male sexuality, celebrity, pornography and the self. In his book Celebrity, Pornography, and the Politics of Desire (2023, Bloomsbury) he engages and applies this approach to self-representational media, pornography/sexual representation, and digital/networked archives of desire. Steve Walls, Ph.D. (2008), is Lecturer in Media & Cultural Studies at Newcastle University, UK. He has previously published Examining Male Service Work: Gendered and Sexualised Aesthetics (Lambert Academic Publishing, 2012). His research/scholarship explores advertising and consumption, fashion communications, masculinities and sexuality.
