Another day on the picket line at Newcastle Uni today - 18 days of strikes to defend jobs & conditions. I’ve been around the block a few times and this feels exceptionally cruel, with redundancies looming over us since January.

The production process of 'The Public Brain' is moving on nicely - copying editing done, cover done (I'm really happy with it and excited to get the book out there in the autumn). It will be coming out under the Bloomsbury Academic imprint, since Bloomsbury have now acquired Rowman and Littlefield.

Now moving onto the production phase for my new book, with the full title agreed as “The Public Brain: Ideology and the Neuroscientific Turn from the Polis to Platforms”, next comes the copy editing, likely published in US in October then Jan in UK.

I deleted all my social media quite some time ago, amongst other reasons to try and help me finish a book. Now it’s done I thought I may as well pop my head up and see what’s going on.
