This is a  journal of notes, quotations, ideas, brief reflections and occasional short essays. They will not necessarily be systematic or entirely coherent. Constructive comments are always welcome. I retired July 2011 as a full-time academic in the School of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Leeds but have been re-engaged for two years to teach a couple of specialist courses and complete Ph.D. supervisions.

Update: as of the 31st July 2013 I am now fully retired. However, for the moment I have been appointed (unpaid!) as an Honorary Research Fellow in Sociology until July 2016.

Over the years I have accumulated a number of blogs and on-line content of various sorts. terrywassall.org is an attempt to organise these and weed out stuff that is redundant. At some point I will produce a page that maps out what’s where.
