she uses "disjunct" as a noun which is so, so jarring to my ears. Things are either disjunct, or there is a disjunction between them, but Ruby says that the book is about "the disjunct" between something

to be fair i've heard disjunct used in this way, i don't think it's strictly correct but i've definitely heard it used, possibly even by lecturers

Maybe it was a seminar where you got graded for participation and therefore you had to use a different topic to things discussed in the seminar? Idk I've never had seminars where participation counts towards your grade but some courses do.

I don’t think they do at Exeter in English, a presentation would do but not group discussions, it wouldn’t be fair and it’s not something UK unis really are encouraged to do

What do you mean by this? She's still middle class I didn't really watch her content before she was at university so idk what it was like

What doesn’t maker her upper class? I’m just interested to hear people’s perceptions of class

That's true, I forget how expensive school fees are. I never knew she went to therapy sessions?
