About me:
Philosophy – people I read include Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, Michel Foucault, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Jean Baudrillard et al, not necessarily because they are more authoritative than Anglo-American writers, but because I like their expansive, divergent and unremittingly creative approach. Favourite slogan: "panic is creation" (Deleuze and Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus). Favourite term: "nomadic anarchitecture" (invented in my undergraduate dissertation). I have an essay on Viral Empiricism published in Deleuze and Philosophy, the Difference Engineer (ed. Ansell Pearson). You can read about my research in my transversality blog.

Technology – I am also the Arts Faculty (including Philosophy) E-learning Advisor, and as such work with creative and critical technologies on a daily basis, as you can see reported in the Warwick E-learning Blog. This has given me a deep appreciation of the need for a clarification and re-assessment of the core concepts underpinning the arts: creativity, imagination, technology and individuality.
