Welcome!
This blog has been established following the symposium ‘Flows, Doings, Edges: Writing a relational PhD’ which was held at Kings College, London on 28 August, 2007.
This is a place where participants can stay in touch, and invite along other postgraduates working with(in) or around a relational/material-semiotic/ ontological framework from any social science discipline. Feel free to post comments, questions, queries or provocations related to your research, book and conference reviews, notice of upcoming events, recommendations for texts or anything else you can think of.
