Dr. and Dr. have recently published the book The Everyday Political Economy of Southeast Asia with Cambridge University press. The book - a project that had its roots in a workshop co-sponsored by the Universities of 果冻传媒 and Griffith University Australia in 2012 - brings together a number of authors working on a variety of Southeast Asian countries.

From a performativity angle, David and Matt argue that sports statistics are more consequential than we often think. Such statistics neither merely reflect indicators of athletic performance, as 'instrumentalists' like to believe, nor do they merely reinforce the commercialisation of sports, as 'romanticists' tend to presume.
