10:03 pm	The new blog is here: http://larvatusprodeo.redrag.net/ I won't be posting there regularly and announcing its existence to the world until 28 March but there's some content there now so go have a look if you like. Thanks so much to Rob Corr for offering to host me and for all his assistance in setting up and tweaking the site! (Comment on this)

6:31 pm	New Farm Unit to Share... I'm looking for a new flatmate to move in to my place at New Farm in a couple of weeks. It's a large 3 bedroom unit, on one of the tree lined streets, very close to Coles, buses, the Citycat, and of course, heaps of restaurants, coffee shops and bars (and you'll save heaps on cab fares from the Valley). The unit is fully furnished except for the bedroom available - though it does have a built in robe. Heaps of storage space underneath the building. I'm a 30 something QUT PhD student in sociology. The sort of person I'd like to live with would perhaps be a postgrad or mature age student. It's not a party place (though not boring either) and I'm looking for someone mature and reliable, but fun. Please no racists, sexists, homophobes or Howard voters. Rent is $130 a week including electricity and landline rental. If you're interested, you can email me at m dot bahnisch at bigpond dot com cheers Mark (4 Comments |Comment on this)

11:58 pm	Blogging Australian Sociology Sociology Goes Troppo in the Tropics Hi folks. My name's Mark Bahnisch from Brisbane (aka Brisvegas), Australia. I've just discovered this community - in fact I wrote about it on my blog. I'm in the final stages of preparing my PhD dissertation for submission at the end of January (aaarrrrggghhh). The thesis looks at the trope of the end of history and attempts to develop a phenomenological sociology of the political. I've taught Sociology and Politics for the last eight years, including a couple of contract gigs as a Lecturer at The University of Queensland. Other research interests include deviance, the body, organisational sociology and subcultures. The reason for writing was partly to say hello, and partly to draw your attention to the group blog of which I'm a member - Troppo Armadillo. You're most welcome to come and have a look. We've been recognised as one of the leading Australian political blogs, and have collected a number of nominations in various categories in the Australian Blog Awards... So you're most welcome to drop in for a read of a blog where several sociologists post, and where sociological commenters are always welcome. (1 Comment |Comment on this)
