“Everyone theorizes. It’s how human beings makes sense of our lives and work. Some of us just theorize as our vocation. But the seduction of theory also refers to the ways that research texts considered scholarly (read ‘good,’ legitimate, or worthy) are also held in high esteem or privileged by predominately patriarchal, racist, xenophobic, often classist and homophobic hegemony.”
