Then, two days ago, I headed up to Manchester to present in the Ruins an Radiation seminar organized by Paul Dobraszczyk. I was on the panel with Dylan Trigg, Jane and Louise Wilson and Tim Edensor, people whose work I have greatly admired over the last few years. Tim was my also external examiner that awarded my PhD last February; I have to admit it was a bit bit surreal to present alongside him so soon after graduating. I was absolutely shocked by the turnout at the talk and can’t those those of you who came along enough, I believe we had almost 200 people in the audience!
The next big task on my list is completion of the Place Hacking manuscript for Verso. I will be squirrelling myself away in the Woflson College library for the next 30 days to get it done. Advance apologies if I am difficult to get a hold of over this period. I won’t lie, after the last few months full of talks, travel and seemingly endless work, I am looking forward to being unreachable!
