I have a new article published today! Written with my fellow OCD-ist. Accepted a couple of years ago, the piece envisions theoretical directions for critical OCD studies through approaching order/control through a social and experiential lens. www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/10.3828/...

So excited to see this out in the world!
