What's the Use? On the Uses of Use: by Sara Ahmed, Duke University Press, 2019, 296 pp., $26.95 (Paperback), ISBN 978-1-4780-0650-3.

i is the third part of what Ahmed has come to think of as a trilogy of "word projects" (233, n.15) and its "queer and idiosyncratic path" (19) developed through the method she established in the earlier books, I The Promise of Happiness i (2010) and I Wilful Subjects i (2014). Chapter 4, "Use and the University" draws on interviews Ahmed conducted when doing empirical research into diversity work and complaints in higher education. Ahmed uses the image of the path to illustrate a number of different points as the book progresses, but most important in terms of the book's own central concerns is the idea that " I The more a path is used, the more a path is used i " (41).
