Websites come and go. I have shaped this one
by the responses which have come to me about earlier
versions.
The first question always seems to be what is my
current academic affiliation. The answer is that I have
none. I retired from Georgetown University at the end of 2005
and have retained no affiliation. Here's
a short
CV since that's what I'm most often asked to make available.
What am I doing now? As little as possible, but that
includes handling firewood and other odd jobs that come with living
in Alaska and as much hiking as we can get in when the weather's
good.
Another answer is: Writing,
traveling on lecture and workshop tours - last year included
Lancaster, Jyväskylä, and Aalborg, this year it has been Geneva,
London, Lancaster, Stirling, Tokyo, and Washington, DC. - and
working on the Advisory Group for the Security Needs Assessment
Protocol of the UN Institute for Disarmament Research (SNAP/UNIDIR)
in Geneva.
What have I published lately? I never know
how to answer that since the idea of 'lately' is hardly a shared
one. The titles of the most recent books are Analyzing
Public Discourse (2007), Nexus Analysis (2004), and Discourses
in Place (2003). The short CV
gives a list of publications in the most recent decade.
Then there are The
New Salvages - short little commentaries on things that
occur to me.

Are you looking for Suzie?
She's keeping very busy too.
