Press release for WfH project

This is the press release that went out today from the Sydney Uni media office. Thanks to Jackie Chowns for her work on this. Watch out for me on Sky news this afternoon (yes, you read that correctly!) The much-touted “work/life balance” is shaping up to be riddled with paradox with new research showing work-related [...]

Work’s Intimacy: Contents

I just sent off the manuscript that has been keeping me so anti-social. I am beside myself. I have no idea what my life will be like without this book weighing on my mind! Below is the ToC. I have already sent some bits to a couple of you, but basically most of this is [...]

Smart choices

Thanks so much to New Matilda for publishing this piece just before the conference. I tried to crystallize some of the things mentioned here in recent days and months. See you on Thursday, I hope!

A requiem for academic blogging

I’m about to post an update in preparation for next week’s SOI conference, but it seemed fitting to mention separately that an article I wrote some time ago about labour politics and academic blogging has just been published in Convergence. Well, fitting in the sense that last week I was in NYC at a conference [...]

Writing elsewhere

Today I added another page to this blog with a running list of publications. Until recently I’d been able to keep this fairly current on my work page, but I don’t have access to my own profile page in my new job (!). In fact, the whole faculty is relaunching its website at the moment, [...]

Rural melancholy and the metronormative

Since getting back from my travels I’ve been working on a few things, including plans for Crossroads 2010 and invites for the CRN State of the Industry conference in November. I’ve been really excited about the plenary speakers for Crossroads for weeks, so it’s great to have the news official now. Meanwhile, we will probably [...]

Phew

That was close. Lots of deadlines to start the year, but now they’re mostly out of the way I can take a minute to catch up with myself. It’s probably obvious that since moving to the beach I’ve been quite reluctant to stay inside blogging after hours, with visitors and the magnificent Leonard Cohen entertaining [...]

Publish

A couple of publishing things to share! I am so happy to see that ‘The Normalization of Flexible Female Labour in the Information Economy’ has just been published in the latest Feminist Media Studies. I haven’t been making a habit of on-blog spruiking lately, but right now, a little overwhelmed by a number of half-finished, [...]

The politics of publishing

Tomorrow’s MACS meeting is inspired by the amount of debate that has greeted the announcement of journal rankings in preparation for a new research evaluation initiative in Australia. Most of this online discussion happened while I was overseas, and given my current institutional in-betweenness, I didn’t get involved in the submission processes since coming back. [...]
