Overnight In Birmingham

You may have noticed that I haven’t been my usual ‘busy-bee’ self. On the other hand there may be no one out there to notice but who cares if I’m shouting into an abyss.

I went to an OU conference in Birmingham. I have a rather convoluted academic history. I have an MPhil in American Literature but I plan to base my PhD on the Nazi Occupation of the Channel Islands during the Second World War so I am making the ‘disciplinary’ transition by completing a post-graduate module in history at the Open University. It’s also a way of avoiding throwing myself into the shark-pool.
