I'm Not Dead Yet!

I'm cognizant of the fact that I've not been updating much and that recent posts haven't been hugely content heavy. Beyond the usual start-of-term chaos, I'm chalking it up to my readjusting to the classroom after fifteen months on research leave and having to remember how to manage my research time while teaching, to the high holidays, and to a variety of personal nonsense. I have about five half-finished posts and a bunch of semi-academic books to review here, so this is just poking my head up above the water line with a brief plea to bear with me. I'm still here, and I'll get back to being interesting very soon!
