This Jo (@jolwalton) often goes by Jo Lindsay Walton. If you'd like get in touch, use Twitter or go to the gmail woods and look for the tree whose branches spell josephclwalton. I also have a sort of academic website.
Or you may be looking for the game designer / game design scholar J. Walton.
Things I am to blame for include:
Vector
I'm an editor-at-large for Vector, the critical journal of the British Science Fiction Association. Why not become a member? Editor-at-large means I'm less involved than I used to be.
Short fiction
Games and Art
Literary Awards
The Sputniks Awards were an experimental literary award for books published in 2015. The winner was The Fifth Season so I guess the experiment worked. There is an article about the Sputniks (and mostly about other things) by Polina Levontin and me coming out in Foundation in late 2024. When I remember, I also run the Baseline Award, which just mostly randomly picks a winner.
Academic Work
I have some chapters / articles in 50 Key Figures in Cyberpunk Culture, Cambridge Companion to Economics and Literature, Edinburgh Companion to Science Fiction and the Medical Humanities, Science Fiction Studies, Foundation, Finance & Society. A lot of them are about SFF.
Other SFF Criticism
On this blog: reviews, executive summary, new genre Wednesdays, hypothesis Thursdays, Monday's child (the last one all about names in F&SF).
Some reviews in Interzone.
Big Echo: Away Day: Star Trek and the Utopia of Merit.
If you want to get in touch, I'm on Twitter as @jolwalton, or go to gmail and ask for josephclwalton. & sort of on Tumblr & as of 2022 I am sometimes around on the Conjured Games and Rite Gud Discords.

Utopia on the Tabletop
An edited collection of essays and interviews about tabletop roleplaying and utopianism. Available open access from Ping Press.
Economic Science Fiction and Fantasy database
Just over a hundred short articles exploring economic themes in science fiction and fantasy. The database is one of those things that sort of grew and grew without a plan. If you have ideas or resources you'd like to share, please get in touch. I'm not updating this much myself personally, but very happy to take contributions. I would love it if people would suggest new entries, or submit articles for inclusion. Excerpts and reprints are fine. More suggestions about economics in SF and fantasy by women and people of color, and by authors outside the US / UK, are especially welcome. Some of my own writing about economics and science fiction is collected here.

Academic / creative professional type website.
Academia.edu.
I have co-edited a collection of essays on utopianism and roleplaying games (Ping), labour in contemporary poetry (Palgrave), and two special issues of journals, one on crime fiction and the environment, and one on secrecy in contemporary poetry. I co-edit Vector, which publishes some academic articles.

I used to run the Economic Humanities blog. I don't do much with it nowadays though. If somebody would like to take it over, I'm all ears.
More recently my academic work has tended to focus on emerging technologies (especially AI) and climate. I tend to write about it on Medium (and occasionally LinkedIn).

Sad Press Poetry
Sad Press is the small press I run with Samantha Walton. Sad Press and Joe Luna's Hi Zero also publish the online poetry reviews journal Hix Eros. And I have sometimes written poetry & other things under pseudonyms which are mostly open secrets.

Here's the "about" post I wrote when I started this blog, back when it was still called The Lorraine Concern. Things haven't really worked out the way I planned. Some important stuff to think about now:
