Apologies for the lack of posting here! As some readers know, I moved to NYC for a few months starting in January. And as I have a relatively limited time here, I've been trying to make the most of it - which means less time for blogging (it's always the first thing to go unfortunately).

That being said, behind the blogging scenes, I've still been hard at work, and NYC has offered me a number of chances to see some incredibly fascinating events. Joseph Stiglitz and Martin Wolf in the past week (both offering rather frightening predictions for the immediate future of the economy), and while I missed Latour's recent appearance, Peter has pointed out that his Harvard talk is available to watch here.

I've also been researching a number of topics - diving into actor-network theory, ecology and philosophy of science, while continuously mulling over the debates that have arisen in the blogosphere over speculative realism. My mind has been pulled in too many directions lately to form any coherent thoughts on these issues, but I hope to return soon with something of substance.

And in order to keep this post from being a totally mundane reflection on my life right now, here's a couple of events coming up in the US that promise to be interesting:

Cornell University's Theory Reading Group - "Particularity, Exemplarity, Singularity"

and

Villanova University - "New French Thought" (which also appears to feature at least one blogger)

Anyways, back soon...
