Hi
Are there any papers or comments about the UQ symposium held on September 3. It sounded like a great conversation. would have loved to come along, but too much other business. I only heard about the symposium because i was talking to Chris Rojek a few days prior. So, if anyone has any papers or comments, it would be nice to hear them.
Regards
Jeff

Hi Jeff
(I hope you don’t mind: I moved your comment to where it would be more easily seen)
The symposium wasn’t recorded, and I’m not aware that there are any transcripts available. Chris’s presentation seemed to be an amalgam of themes from his book on Stuart Hall, and some recent research on corporate culture.
I’m aware of two people in the audience who have blogged it since:
Terry Flew has posts here and here, and Jason Jacobs has his piece here.
Hope this helps.
John
