Resisting globalisation
On Thursday the topic for our seminar is 'Social justice, resistance and global restructuring'. I am giving a seminar presentation. I saw the words 'social justice' and felt this was the area I was most likely to manage something in. However, with one thing and another, I've only just started thinking about it. I have to come up with some sort of reasopable intellectual question to discuss. Hmmm. Oh well, the worst that can happen is that I make a fool of myself, get slated by the lecturer and get a bad mark. It could be worse...

Today I have discovered 'working under pressure'. I started at 10.30, read 3-and-a-bit journal articles, and have more of an idea of what I want to do. Something to do with the ambiguities of a movement made up of people with different ideas, perhaps. I might try to include something about being transnational - that's a good word. If I can fit in the idea of 'glocality' - being both local and global - and criticise it as a false dichotomy, I'll be on to a winner.
Until someone asks me a difficult question. It won't take long...

GO GIRL! May those brain juices flow as you study today. Sounds like you have the makings of a brillo presentation, although I do have to admit its all a foreign language to me!
Me too! I go to my seminars and people come out with all these big words which I don't undestand and other words which, when I look them up in the dictionary, I can understand the meaning of them just about, but I can't internalise an understanding of them, so I still struggle to get what people are saying when they use them. I'm starting a list of 'words I have learnt' - words I find in articles I read that I want to try to use in conversation in an attempt to understand them better.
I'm not sure what the deal is with the last comment. Either someone mocking me, or something very wrong in cyberspace.
It is evident that I worked too hard yesterday. Today I have been very distracted and not done much. I have worked, but the breaks in between working have been loooong. Also, no day on which you can buy the Saturday Guardian should be a work day. When I rule the world, this will be the case. Don;t know who you'll buy the Guardian rom, but I'll work something out.
Feel very unproductive. I'll just have to do more work on Monday.
Back in cyberpace, yes, but updating your blog?
Sorry Rach. I'm not actually obessessed with your blog, although I know I am quite naggy about it. It's on my list of 'blogs I look at most days in the hope that they've been updated' - gives me something more entertaining to do when at work (and when I should be writing seminar presentations...)
