Welcome to the 'Materially Social' blog, written by Dave Elder-Vass. I'm using the blog to share my academic work in progress - things like ideas under development, comments on papers I've read or presentations I've heard, thoughts prompted by my teaching and students, and responses to discussions in the literature and the blogosphere. I'll also do some brief summaries of pieces I'm publishing more formally elsewhere.
Like most academic bloggers, I don't expect to agonise over getting every sentence to a peer-reviewable standard. As a result I may write the odd thing I come to regret or just change my mind about. I expect I'll miss out some important things too. On the plus side, though, I hope that will make it a bit more lively and accessible than the average journal article!
