I’ve just updated a bunch of stuff on my work homepage (check out the ‘research‘, ‘publications‘ and ‘MACS‘ pages) which led me in a bout of inspiration just now to summarise my new project. This is all very well given that the assessments for my ARC postdoc application will come out tomorrow, no doubt deflating any of my optimism or apparent talent to actually do what I propose below. However, on the flip side, these are the things I plan to study for the next 18 months, whether or not I get funding to do it, under the rubric ‘Working from Home’: * to analyse the rhetoric of ‘flexibility’ in discourses surrounding workplace culture, and how this annuls the political potential of multiculturalism and theories of difference; [...] [...] Filling out the CRN nomination and contemplating the prospects for ongoing employment last week have me feeling super anal about getting my affairs in order.

I'd usually recommend Textdrive, and I'm not being paid to say that. I swear. But you may be looking for something a bit less intense. Let me know your requirements.

We digitally recorded the last one. Trouble is the dynamic of MACS is quite anecdotal and participatory. It affects the informality - and hence the value - of the meeting to record too much of the discussion.
