I’m in Mexico with wayward WiFi, which is why I’ve been so quiet lately.  The other reason is that I’ve been writing away (more on that soon).  Next month I really am on the road, as opposed to the beach, and I’ll be giving a series of talks in the UK at Durham (3-4 March), Newcastle (5-6 March), Exeter (9-10 March) and – as you can see from the posters above and below – Queen Mary London (12 March).

Durham gets a different talk (‘Dirty Dancing’, the latest version of my analysis of drone strikes and military violence in Pakistan, which I’m busy turning into an essay right now), but the rest involve the final version of ‘Angry Eyes’, which will also be ready in essay-form soon (which is to say once I’ve got feedback from these presentations).

If any readers are near any of these talks, it would be good to see you.
