A reminder of tomorrow’s seminar:
Simon Schaffer (University of Cambridge)
Indiscipline and Interdiscipline: some exotic sources of modern knowledge orders
Interdisciplinarity is a common theme in contemporary discussion of the order
of knowledge. Histories of interdisciplinarity often imagine a past of rigid
disciplinary structures, now somehow surpassed. But these histories err in
underestimating the hybridity and exoticism of knowledge orders. Cases drawn
from relations between early nineteenth century colonial settings are used to
illuminate these pathways of modern knowledge.
Simon Schaffer is Professor of History of Science in the University of
Cambridge. He recently co-edited “The brokered world: go-betweens and global
intelligence 1780-1820”.

I am a member of the National Tertiary Education Union. In support of the
NTEU’s enterprise bargaining team, all NTEU members at UNSW are engaged in a
work ban outside normal working hours. I therefore will not respond to emails
or phone calls or engage in other work duties outside of my normal working
hours (9am-5pm AEST, Monday to Friday). A recent NTEU survey found that all
UNSW staff reported working outside normal working hours e.g. at weekends.
I support the NTEU’s bargaining team in their current negotiations with UNSW
management to secure a new enterprise agreement with improved conditions for
all staff, including: a fair pay increase; better regulation of workloads;
protection of recreation leave conditions; improved carer’s leave, and;
increased security for casual and fixed-term contract staff. For further
information on the NTEU’s claims and bargaining campaign at UNSW, please see
