A once marginal subculture documented in homemade \u2018zines and three chord songs has become fodder for dozens of scholarly articles, books, PhD dissertations, and conversations amongst well-mannered conference panelists. At the same time, the academic ranks have been increasingly infiltrated by professors and graduate students whose educations began not in the classroom, but in the lyric sheets of 7\u201d records and the cramped confines of all-ages shows.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em>Punkademics<\/em> explores these varied intersections by giving voice to some of the people who arguably best understand the odd bedfellows of punk and academia. In addition to being one of the first edited collections of scholarly work on punk, it is a timely book that features original essays, interviews, and select reprints from notable writers, musicians, visual artists, and emerging talents who actively cut &amp; paste the boundaries between punk culture, politics, and higher education.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contributors:<\/strong> Milo J.
