back at last

Having been away for a while, it is good to be back. First, the big news. Today's my first day as Lecturer at the Department of Social and Communication Studies, University of Chester. The blog will therefore be brewed in Cheshire for some time to come; needless to say I'm very happy. I will teach at the intersection of politics and communication, with special attention to new media and the political.

I will post some more information on the modules I teach and about latest research later in the week; there's quite a few things to catch up with, starting from the Hansard e-Democracy conference in November, the forthcoming ECPR conference where Steve Ward and I have a paper, forthcoming data on the internet and citizen participation in Australia etc, etc. Plus a number of e-dem, e-gov and e-politics articles which have appeared recently which may be of interest.

It will be a hectic few months.

To my anonymous Italian admirer I want to say: yes, for god's sake, I will teach you some English over Christmas [and we'll organise an underground grill-foundue event that will enter the history and legend of Emilian cuisine. Pigs and any other four-legged animals: beware, we're coming].

Ciao e scrivi, barbun
