- Description: [Introduction] A series of accidents brought me to this place today where I get to address those who’ve become an important part of my life about what my life’s work means and adds up to. Many people don’t get such an opportunity, but the academic community believes in the values of history and reflection, so such an opportunity is afforded to me, and I count myself fortunate (and a little bit terrified) to have it. Those accidents (which I will talk about a little more) have meant that I have had a whole career (as a journalist) before I became an academic and so I am a little older perhaps than most professors standing in the same spot. I am close-ish to the ending of this career and I intend to have another one (as a fully-fledged writer) before I finish altogether. What I want to talk about are thedeep preoccupations of my life which are: the personal and the political, talk and listening,and of course, writing.
