stuart hall raaaawks

i’m doing a lecture on my work in the researching media audiences subject the supervisor takes. next week. i have done nothing except think about some clips i’d like to show.
i have only 20 minutes. which is nothing when you add in clips.
sheesh.
but i’m getting paid. and this is the first time i’ve been asked to lecture on my own research (rather than to speak about other people’s stuff). excellent.
time for me to do another paper, though…

otherwise, i’m rocking through the media/diaspora stuff. it’s really interesting and wonderfully complementary to the fan studies stuff. i have a couple of articles by stuart hall to follow up, which will no doubt raaaawk, because he raaaawks.
NB: my first supervisor, frances, was supervised by stuart hall for her phd at the birmingham open university. that’s very exciting.

i love researching. i love this stuff i’m working on. i just wish i was more disciplined.
