The History/Sociology/Theory Page

This page consists of links to various articles and other pieces that I have written over the past fifteen years or so.  They are either first drafts, or associated with various postgraduate research projects I have undertaken.  Some may well be worked up into papers that I will submit for publication at some time.  Feel free to email me to comment upon them.  Also feel free to quote them (using the URL as reference).  I will deal with any plagiarism that comes to my attention in the usual legal and academic ways.
