Oh my god! Has it really been that long? In this time I have:

Been running the first year PhD programme

Been getting used to my new post, being diplomatic, making friends (and enemies!), undertanding the procedures

Been studying for my PhD, including reading a lot and writing a fair amount

Benn involved in the development of an MRes

Writing the definitive programme document for the MRes, something I have never done before (I found it very difficult but philosophically challenging)

Benn involved in the development of an interesting PgCert, still in its confidential phase but pedagogically very exciting

Been involved in the development and have written an AHRC Collaborative Training bid

Been doing, on top of all that, my day to day job supporting PhD students, processing admissions, coordinating examinations and being mentored as an examiner.

Now you know why I haven't been here!

I have however, been blogging a lot, just not about pedagogy but about seduction, the core of my research project.

Let me know if these excuses are pathetic. I really liked the work I put into this blog and sometimes regret not writing more often... I think about pedagogical issues a lot, just don't write about them...
