Ideas for philosophy PhD work

I'm meeting top Deleuze expert (and ***collapse contributor) Keith Ansell Pearson today to discuss possible gradaute (PhD?) study in the Philosophy Department. I haven't had much time to think about an actual proposal, but have a few vague notions connected to his book Germinal Life and issues related to introducing e-learning into different academic disciplines.
Here's a few random strands….

• How different academic disciplines form, how they are maintained, different systems of knowledge, how they operate together.
• Regimes of spatiality within different academic disciplines. How these regimes remain implicit. Foucault on space. Regimes of spatiality and technology in academic disciplines. Related to work with the 3D Visualization Group an some interesting ideas from Hugh Denard.
• How regimes of space relate to duration as time experienced – Bergson, Deleuze, Ansell Pearson.
• Ethics of non-deterministic causality.
