About Sunday with Me

Sunday with Me is an invitation for you to spend a Sunday (...with Me) in a place of your choosing for a little or a long while, so what we may do and where we may go can reflect upon and explore the ordinary creativities of leisure time - hobbies, sightseeing, going to your favourite haunts, visiting attractions, pubs, sporting events, and so on. If you have an idea, email neilsimonbowes@gmail.com to make a plan

Forthcoming: Sunday with Ian Abbott

Good News!

Ian Abbott, with whom I spent a fantastic Sunday traveling through Devon on 22.10.06, is coming up for a second Sunday on 30.3.08. He will arrive on the Saturday evening "give or take 30 mins of 6pm" and we will be having fish pie for tea before going for a couple of pints of ale. On the Sunday morning we will walk up Kinder Scout and be brightened by the exercise. If you follow this blog you might remember that Kinder Scout is where Mariella Greil and I walked in preparation for our lecture last November, in entirely abysmal weather.

Thesis & Documentation

Sunday with Me was originally devised through my postgrad research, which informed a 73,000 word PhD thesis called Towards an Ethics of Voice as Hospitable Space, based at and funded by The University of Central Lancashire between 2003-08. There are some minor corrections outstanding but if you are interested in this curious and unwieldy document, sections of it are available on request (Or... just come on a Sunday).
