A football-free disclosure: I'm a geographer working in a sociology department and my current purpose in life is to encourage archiving and re-use of qualitative data; and encourage researchers to think about copyright law and confidentiality in data collection. Current research interests: nineteenth century women philanthropists and social investigation; concepts of community; gender and planning (especially new towns); and still live in hope of finding time to publish previous research on local politics.
