So, no blogging from me for a while then.  I think I stopped because someone I know requested that I blog about robots again, but I have fallen out with the robots, so no blogging from me…

At some point in this and the next month I hope to reconnect with ideas of communication theory using examples of human-robot communication as illustrations, but I haven’t managed yet.  Meanwhile, I am teaching in an upper level Communication Studies unit and enjoying pretty much every minute of that.  It’s possible that some of my students may drop by the blog this week or next, so I thought I owed them a more recent post.

What bits of information could I share here which have some bearing on the tutorials for next week?

  • My favourite theory uses stories as illustrations, almost all theorists in which I am interested and whose ideas I quote do this
  • John Durham Peters is someone I cite a lot (and he’s quoted in the reading for this week)
  • My life choices and the work I have done can be linked back to stories I have heard that have captured my imagination, from school, through my first degree, at work, in moving to Australia and in my research and teaching

Back to robots soon, yes, I really will get back to the robots… one day…
