“…Recently microdosing, the practice of repeatedly using low doses of psychedelics like lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin, has gained considerable media attention, where it is portrayed as a performance enhancing activity (Glatter, 2015; Solon, 2016; Dean, 2017; Fadiman, 2017; Reddit, 2018; thethirdwave, 2018; Tomaszewski, 2018). In contrast to a regular dose that is characterized by perceptual changes and hallucinations, a microdose by definition does not induce perceptual alterations (Greiner et al, 1958; Vollenweider and Kometer, 2010; Liechti, 2017; thethirdwave, 2018; Yanakieva et al, 2018; K.P.C.…”

Background Microdosing with psychedelics has gained considerable media attention where it is portrayed as a performance enhancer, especially popular on the work floor. While reports are in general positive, scientific evidence about potential negative effects is lacking aside from the prevalence and motives for use. The present study addressed this gap by surveying psychedelic users about their experience with microdosing including their dosing schedule, motivation, and potential experienced negative effects. Methods An online questionnaire was launched on several websites and fora between March and July 2018. Respondents who had consented, were 18 years of age or older, and had experience with microdosing were included in the analyses. Results In total, 1116 of the respondents were either currently microdosing (79.5%) or microdosed in the past (20.5%). Lysergic acid diethylamide (10 mcg) and psilocybin (0.5 g) were the most commonly used psychedelics with a microdosing frequency between 2 and 4 times per week. The majority of users, however, were oblivious about the consumed dose. Performance enhancement was the main motive to microdose (37%). The most reported negative effects were of psychological nature and occurred acutely while under the influence. Conclusion In line with media reports and anecdotes, the majority of our respondents microdosed to enhance performance. Negative effects occurred mostly acutely after substance consumption. However, the main reason to have stopped microdosing was that it was not effective. Future experimental placebo-controlled studies are needed to test whether performance enhancement can be quantified and to assess potential negative effects after longer term microdosing.

“…This reminds me of the rather sexist math-literature that is in the only mathfiction anthology that's available to use as our text [4]. We don't have to, and we don't, avoid such literature; instead we can use it to talk about which parts are sexist, and why, or even whether it's sexist (or, as I put it, "reflects the sexism of the times").…”

“…3~ As Anne Fadiman's Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader, a collection of essays on the passions and perils of life-long book collecting, reflects regretfully: "books are so often written about as if they were toasters". 31 The publishing memoir's engagement with wider cultural politics debates of the kind energising humanities research varies according to the predilections of the author. Publishers are typically conversant with the theoretical shifts taking place within the academy, if only because universities represent a rich store of potential authors, reviewers and book purchasers.…”

The match between contemporary book publishing and academia would appear at first glance to be the most natural of alliances. No other subgroup of the general population is as likely to deal with publishers in the capacity of author, contributor or reviewer, and no other profession would appear as predisposed to bibliophily as the humanities academic. In the twenty-first-century research-intensive university, publishing quantum is the indisputable currency of hiring, promotion and grant decision-making, with books enshrined as the highest accredited research output for humanities scholars. Yet, until recent years, publishing has constituted the academy's medium for research dissemination rather than its explicit subject, 1 Over the last fifteen years or so, publishing courses have begun to multiply internationally in the post-secondary education sector, appearing first in the guise of vocationally-oriented certificate and diploma courses in institutes of further education, and only more recently (and tentatively) infiltrating the postgraduate coursework and doctoral programmes of internationally recognised research universities. 2 The research quantum imperatives of such institutions have combined with the pre-eminence of theory in the humanities over the last decades to exert pressure upon publishing studies. The field is currently experiencing a sense of urgency arising from both scholars and their institutions to reconfigure itself as a critical--rather than merely a descriptive or vocational--field) As so recent an entrant to academic environments on any terms, contemporary publishing studies may justifiably find this new demand that it generate a coherent theoretical paradigm and research methodology forthwith somewhat confronting.Surveying academic commentary about contemporary book publishing reveals myriad research trajectories without a strong sense of disciplinary cohesion. Frequently, work analysing contemporary book publishing industry dynamics exists at the periphery of academic sub-disciplines such as literary studies, bibliography and librarianship, communication, media and cultural studies, sociology, history, or in research centres focused upon interdisciplinary topics such as gender, sexualities or national identities. As a result,
