http://plashingvole.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Plashing Vole – y traethodydd. Thursday, 28 August 2014. I appear to have broken one of my friends, a colleague and a co-writer! I've been pretty quiet this week because I've been working really hard on a conference paper (and hopefully journal article). The conference is on The Politics and Law of Doctor Who. Its energetic progenitor Danny Nicol has even set up a blog. Well in advance to kick ideas around outside the closed circle of academia, which is the kind of thing that makes me happy. In actual fa...

The Plashing Vole: February 2015
http://plashingvole.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Plashing Vole – y traethodydd. Tuesday, 24 February 2015. All hail Eimear McBride. Last week we had the enormous pleasure of Eimear McBride visiting us. I put her debut novel A Girl Is A Half-Formed Thing. On a first-year course last year and was stunned by how strongly the students responded to this experimental, poetic, harrowing novel. Which I've now ordered. She also put in a word for Edna O'Brien - rightly so. In the New Yorker. A sexual relationship with her uncle, an affair …. Then we went to dinn...

Lazy Relativism
http://www.readmorewritemorethinkmorebemore.com/2009/11/lazy-relativism.html
Saturday, November 07, 2009. I think if you asked my students to name one single value that I hold, passionately, they would say: "She HATES. Disagreements, and which runs and hides behind completely lame acquiescences like "well, what's true for you is true for you, and what's true for me is true for me. so, like, whatever, dude.". The thing that bothers me the most about this kind of attitude is that, more often than not, the people who adopt it. Believe that we're both right. If I say something li...
