This is a collection of essays, poems, think pieces and the so-called detritus of academic research written by people who write to help us (out)live the constraints of the world.

Cristina (Maria Da Rosa Bagaço) Masters lives in Manchester where she teaches international politics at the oh so lofty University of Manchester. Capricorn, tiger or ox depending on the day, lover of high-quality tinned tuna in olive oil. Mostly a crap academic; works way harder at becoming/being a better human being. She loves eating carbs, drinking grapefruit gin, dancing salsa on2, reading all things fiction (but mostly not when written by white men). Is looking for like-minded co-travellers to be unruly and make mischief with. shine choi works and lives in aotearoa new zealand. Her current research interests include non-alignment, monumental politics, postcolonial korean history, aesthetics, critical/creative methods and global feminist conversations. She mostly reads and is currently writing a shy reluctant book. Marysia Zalewski lives in Wales and Scotland and works at Cardiff University. She thinks a lot about gender. Can drift into despair about the awful shit that happens here and elsewhere¿. Loves writing and thinking with people (especially this lot in this book!). Though writing remains very hard! Currently working on a project on ¿ well, yes, gender¿.There¿s always so much more to think about with gender. Would like to write a book called `Things that stay with you.¿ Would like to put on an exhibition. Written a good bit about `feminist IR.¿ Had lots of `real world¿ jobs in my former lives ¿ though still works as a mother and daughter. Watches way too many films. Swati Parashar would have liked to be a detective or a spiritual guru, but instead teaches and researches at the School of Global Studies, University of Gothenburg in Sweden. Her work is situated at the intersections of feminism and postcolonialism, but she is not a favourite of either of these 'camps', critiquing and messing around with them. She has lived and worked in many countries and is at home with her 'homelessness'. When not predicting test cricket scores, she likes to listen to Indian classical music and old Bollywood songs. Be warned, that her best writings come when she is sufficiently provoked or angry.
