Well, it’s certainly been a long time since I’ve written anything here — almost 8 months. For that reason, I thought I’d better put together a quick update on my goings on.
I am currently working on a report on the meaning of “public interest” as that expression appears in a state statute for a NSW regulatory body. That report is going to be very detailed and the project will be part of my weekly routine for at least six to nine months.
In addition to that, I’m finalising a chapter on Huxley (pictured) and neuropsychiatry for a book that shall be published this year — presumably by Lit Verlag in their “Human Potentialities” series, which is edited by the German Huxley scholar Bernfried Nugel. This special book in that series of books will be guest edited by Julian Piras and Dana Sawyer.
I have also finally been provided proofs of my chapter on Philip K. Dick, L. Ron Hubbard, and psychiatric devices, which I believe will be published in a Lexington edition this year. Once the Huxley chapter is out of the way, I look forward to continuing to work on my articles in law and medicine.
I continue to manage Philament, and was pleased to have successfully applied for and received some very helpful funding for the coming issues, thanks to SUPRA, which will help take the journal through to 2019. The current editor is working hard on producing two issues this year, and I have recently reached out to a talented web designer and hope to have the journal’s new website designed later in the year.
That’s all for now.
