That was my question as well.

This is in no way to discount the great meta I've read online, or anything: I value the fandoms I've observed, but I don't expect them to crossover with academia even when the lingo occasionally lines up. An academic article is NOT the same thing as long post regarding Martha's race in DW (those essays are a really cool hybrid genre: personal observation, some theorizing, lots of immediate dialogue in the comments, a little old-skool/newcrit close reading, lots of really self-aware rhetoric). That post is fascinating and valuable, but it's got a different audience and does different cultural work than the article. Even when we invite our lit-crit terminology into our discussions, the context is not an MLA publication or an academic conference, not least because publication is generally instant and often not-peer-reviewed in fandom. And (here's my lit-crit-iness coming through) that context kind of matters. A lot.

So I guess that's why I don't think I learn the same things from Fandom that I've learned from my degrees. And (I feel the need to add) that's great-- why would I want grad school and fandom to be the same thing even if they share a few interests and epistemes?
