I’ve spent most of the day (in between emails and phone calls) doing some final twiddling with my We Can Be Heroes paper. As usual, now that I’ve had quite some distance from it as it has moved through the review process, I can see all sorts of terrible glaring holes in the argument and […]

Anne and I met again for Foucault (and nice coffee) this morning. This time we tackled Part 4- Prisons: Complete and Austere Institutions. We’re getting excited because for a while there it didn’t look like we’d ever get to the end. But we have set ourselves the final two sections for next week. Just as […]

No…not for a catchy theme tune which will sweep a 1970s labor government to power. Rather, I think it’s time to tidy my desk at home. Stuff has been gradually piling up and encroaching on the keyboard, so that I am barely left with room to swing the mouse. Goodness me, get rid of that […]
