I'd like to thank everyone again who commented on my previous post. I am very grateful for all of the advice. I'd also like to thank Marc Zelcer for taking the initiative to start up a paper-swap group in the following comment:
To the cocoon community,
I will gladly agree to look over the first three or four papers that come into my inbox, providing that: the paper is not too long (more than 20 or so pages?), the paper is in a field that I am somewhat competent to say something about (anything I've taught or wrote about?), you give me a reasonable amount of time, and agree to do the same should I ask.If we have enough people who reply "me too" and link to their CV and their email address, we should be able to help deal with the problem.

I will gladly be the first to say "me too", and would like to encourage anyone else who is interested in taking part to sign up in the comments section below. Please just include your name, areas of interest, your email address, and, if possible, a link to your CV. Also: "signing up" should not be considered binding. Anyone should feel free to turn down inquiries. But, of course, please only sign up if you have a genuine intention to paper-swap with others.
Anyway, then, without further ado...Anyone who wants to swap papers with me in any of my areas (see my CV here), please feel free to email me at marvan@ut.edu asking me if I'd be willing to swap papers. Provided I don't get deluged with inquiries, I'll probably be more than happy to oblige. Fair warning: the papers I could use feedback on range from 22-46 pages. Because the 46-pager is so long, but also probably the one I need the most help on, I would be more than happy to read two shorter (22-30 page) papers from anyone who is willing to give it a read. Also, fwiw, the papers I could use feedback on are on human rights, justice, philosophy of law, and (UPDATED) transformative experience.
Hope to see others sign on!
me too!
