So setting up the siginifier´counter-terrorism´ isn´t prescribing objects of research through ideology, then? O thank god! Because that means that President Bush really *does* know what he´s talking about, and thence it must follow, as the night must the day, that he cannot then be false to any man... Perhaps I´ll just stay here in Rio de Janeiro and teach, ooh, I don´t know, ´Democratization studies´, or something equally non-judgemental and value-free...

I am rather wary of attempts to prescribe certain 'objects' of research through ideology (whether I happen to share that ideology or not). It is perfectly possible to imagine critical methods and critical results from such a study. It's clear that the PI wants critical geogaphers to apply...
