| a little oasis in time | August 18, 2008 | It’s the luxury of mid-term vacation here this week which means no students and no classes. So I am taking advantage of this little oasis in time to get stuck into some of my more pressing research projects. I spent the morning writing up some ideas for the presentation on September 5 with Anne. And […] |
| coincidence or serendipity? | August 14, 2008 | There’s a lovely episode of Seinfeld ( let’s face it actually they’re all lovely) where Elaine ( I think) and someone (I forget who) have an argument about coincidences. In particular, they disagree as to whether there are degrees of coincidence – that is, are some coincidences bigger than others? I mention this because sometimes […] |

| The lyricism of marginality | August 13, 2008 | Well we finally made it to the end of Discipline and Punish this morning. We worked out that we took 10 months as we officially began around October last year. Although it must also be noted that the beginning of this year saw 3 or 4 months when we got nothing done at all because […] |

| Isn’t this always the way? | August 8, 2008 | Well it’s Friday afternoon and I have actually managed to send my revised article back on time. For all my procastinating over the reference list once I sat down yesterday and made myself attack it, it didn’t really take too long. Isn’t this always the way? Sadly though, the time I have spent on these […] |
| humming along | July 31, 2008 | 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 […] |

| Foucault (and nice coffee) | July 30, 2008 | 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 […] |
