8230;and other variations. Claire, Birgit and I. Masters Dream Team, hailing from the three corners of the Earth – Hawaii, Norway and Australia. That’s right, the Earth is a triangle, ask Galileo. The Dream Team found itself with a tiny gleaming window of opportunity. For a week our classes were cancelled as our MA staff headed to a conference in Canada. Our first thought was, great! Now we have a whole week to work, uninterrupted, on our impending research proposal! Scoured huge flea markets. Discovered...

But rather than dwell on that [1], I am going to distract you by writing about something interesting [2]. Before I left the Netherlands quite a few months ago to live in Paris and then hitchhike and hike around the Balkans [3], I did the inevitable and dreaded thing most travellers are familiar with. I TRIED TO PACK. Nothing over 5 euro! 8217;)...

8230;and other variations. Going into ‘The Field’. I’ve just stepped out into the field. I packed up my studio apartment into a rucksack and headed out into the dangerous unknown, notepad in hand. It was a gruelling journey, across uncharted territories full of bizzarre and terrifying creatures. I’ve encountered exotic natives who speak a strange tongue. I don’t know what to think of them, or what they think of me. Nothing is certain. Me going into the field (alone on a tropical beach.). We all do this m...

First we went to Thai Boxing in the centre-west, run by a famous boxing champion with Moroccan heritage. Then we branc...

The piece is called ‘The New Voluntarism’ and it can be downloaded here. Redfern Now: Indigenous Accountability, Hopeful Realism and Intervention. You are...
