I’m spending the next several weeks in Melbourne, visiting Monash University as part of the Monash-Warwick alliance. As anyone following the tennis will know, it’s extremely hot here at the moment. But I’m finding libraries and offices to work in, and walking round the city in the early morning and evening. A whole series of meetings to discuss collaborative projects are being set up over the next few weeks, and I’ll be taking part in workshops on Foucault, and on urban studies, in February. [Update: the Foucault workshop has, unfortunately, been cancelled.]
