I wrote a brief piece on 'Crime fiction and multiculturalism', focusing on the novels of A.A. Dhand and Saima Mir. These are set in Bradford, where I did some urban walking last September and took pictures, some of which are included as images.

Try Joachim Häberlen. He is no longer in academia but I could get you in touch.

I had a conversation with the stimulating scholar Morteza Hajizadeh about my book The Quest for Individual Freedom, which has now appeared as a podcast on the New Books Network.

What does p. 99 say or not say about a book? I applied this test to my own one and incidentally tried to make a broader point on the relationship between social democracy and individual freedom.

I'm very happy to see my 'second book' on the uses and meanings of silence in 19th century politics now officially published.
Many thanks to all who made this moment possible.

This essay summarises the approach and key arguments of my recently published book The Quest for Individual Freedom. It also argues for the usefulness of Isaiah Berlin's famous concept of negative freedom, but in the plural rather than the singular.
