- Continental Epistemology: Develop a comprehensive Continental Epistemology in the value system of continental philosophy (not merely continental philosophy's response to traditional epistemic issues)
- Obsurantism Analysis: Identify, structure, and investigate the deliberate obscurantism in French/Continental philosophy (e.g.; Bourdieau's is different than Foucault's and both have a structure and style)
- Text with or without Author: One one hand the text should stand on its own without the author being considered (Barthes, Foucault), but on the other hand people are self-labeling with ever more identity politics categories, so we want to hear the queer Islamic feminist point of view on topic x.

- Aesthetics: Role of SciArt practice - sci->diysci; art->citizen art; Science/DIY science transition - how is Artworld/citizen art transition/reaction to be? Science - more tangible - appreciation that, and curiosity about how Internet models might help with the practice of science - collaboration - understand selves as node in expanding ecosystem of who can do science; what is art, who can do art, who recognizes and inculcates (ww....from Fr Crit) art; when Christine puts it in the Whitney or x in the Tate
