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.
