I have a few followers on Tumblr who are interested in possibly digesting some good TXF dissertations, particularly about feminism and/or sexism/misogyny, so I'll have to check that one out!
I got a message the other day from a longtime follower who reads my analysis/meta/critique of other TV shows/books/etc and who was super excited to see me get into TXF: "when are you going to start the Scully discourse?"
I've been trying to stay out of it personally, because I haven't finished the series yet, but I can't keep my grubby paws off of good material like this. In the meantime, though, reading other people's criticisms/critiques/thoughts sounds delightful--and like the perfect way to pass time at work when there's no more work to do and hours left on the clock to go. ;)
Some newer stuff could be great, so I'd be happy to know who is writing their PhD on TXF, but you're right in that history (as my secondary interest) is important when it comes to literary/media analysis, so I'll check out everything, particularly the older stuff.
(As far as female sexuality goes I'm not sure where that fits in just yet, but I get the reproduction thing. There's a lot that bothers me about that storyline in this series but it's been hard pinning it down. Maybe I'll have an easier time soon, since I'm almost through S8. Perhaps in the case of TXF sexuality and reproduction are heavily intertwined, which would make a heck of a lot of sense to me.)

Thanks so much!
