I think every time I get around to updating this site I always say, ‘oh I’ve been so busy, must do better…’, but, to be honest, the likelihood of that is never great. But in positive news there have been some things happening. As you probably all know the world has been pretty screwed […]
Every time I say that it’s been ages since I’ve updated this site, it becomes even longer before I get around to doing it again. But I have some updating to do. I have completed my second PhD. This one is in publishing studies. It’s called Books Are Social: the role of social technology in […]
I tend to get around to updating this when I have something interesting (or, at the very least, interesting to me) to share with the 10 people who occasionally visit the site. Kidding, there are like 8. Which is fair, this is niche stuff. But today I am going to share just a bit […]
Forgive me from diving headfirst into the topics I have been writing about without a lot of backdrop or too much preamble. You see, I have been working on writing up the results of my PhD research into social media as a slushpile. And, I have learned loads. For instance, I have narrowed the […]

First things first when writing about Foucault’s theories: get a hold of the concepts first. This is the part that hurts the head and taxes the brain, but it is the most necessary way to come to terms with Foucault’s works. Now, I am not claiming to be a scholar of all things Foucault, but […]
This week, as part of my part-time day job with Scottish Book Trust, I wrote a blog about writing poetry on Twitter, or Twitter Poetry; it will be part of a series of ‘Doing Digital’ blogs looking at using social platforms as a place to create and share creative writing. You can read the blog […]
This blog post will focus on tips for getting on with theoretical writing.
