Occupation Ranting
Location Bristol, United Kingdom
Introduction This blog was started for me by my partner, Sidekick, in response to my ranting. Whenever I started a rant I was firmly instructed to 'blog' and 'sent' to the office. Since its inception the blog has developed, to include not just my angry rants, but as a space for my quasi-academic rants. I am currently researching a PhD, so a lot of what I rant about are thoughts and ideas in transit - fluid rather than set in stone. A lot of what I rant about reflects my own interests as well as my research, and you'll find topics such as post-structuralism, human-rights, peace education and religion among them.
Interests Ranting. Worrying. Peace Education. Worrying about peace education studies. post-structural/post-modern theology. Ranting and then worrying about upsetting people. Anything that begins with the prefix 'post' (most currently being post-development discourse).
