Text of the page (random words):
to try my hand at something looser than the very formal academic tone i d become so used to as anyone can see from my early posts this was a steep learning curve and it took me quite a while to find my place and speak with an authentic voice i suppose another difference from your approach is that i didn t particularly feel that there was a niche that particularly needed me in it there were already a decent crop of skilled communicators out there writing for and about irish archaeology if i d been a deeper thinker i reckon i d have left the blogging scene in the capable hands it was already in but where s the fun in that i really want to talk about your comment nothing says half arsed like a barely wrote blog that still exists that was my only real fear in starting blogging that i d not find the stuff to write about or the time to do it i ve written before that an article on cracked com about the 8 worst types of blog on the internet was very influential on my thinking one of the offences they identify is the let s start a blog blog a blog with only one post where the author got caught up in the idea of having a blog but not in actually providing content i had no idea what i was going to write about but i knew that i was going to have to make an effort it might be badly written and boring but there would be more than one post one way or another i had envisioned my blogging as something i would be doing within the context of remaining as a professional field archaeologist i had intended that it would be a place where i could write about the things that interested me but i wasn t particularly convinced that anyone would read any of it the first breakthrough piece i wrote that seemed to make people sit up and notice was in response to a another blog post that claimed the celtic tiger years had been detrimental to irish archaeology i disagreed and wrote was the building boom so bad for irish archaeology a reply to fin dwyer it was a pretty big hit for me when most of my posts struggled to hit 100 readers in a week this shot to over 1000 reads in just a couple of days up until that i couldn t have begged or bribed people to engage with me in comments but suddenly i was in the midst of a to me at least significant little media storm with multiple simultaneous conversations going on across the comments section of the post and in various corners of social media i m not sure if i was writing it today i d be so fully committed to the arguments i present in that post but i think its an interesting artefact of where my thinking lay at that time although i ve not discussed it publicly before probably the biggest lesson i learned at that time was my vulnerability in speaking my mind and still being employed with an archaeological consultancy at that time as a senior staff member with the lot i worked with i had administrator access to the company facebook page and could post as the company i d emailed the office manager and if it could be put on the page i even cautioned that it might be deemed controversial and was told to go ahead and do it myself it ll be fine although one of the company directors had seen the post elsewhere and loved it the office manager decided that it was more controversial than she d imagined i got a strongly worded email saying that the company could not allow itself to be associate in any way with the post and that it had been deleted i also found that i and the rest of the senior staff no longer had administrative privileges for the facebook page it was really only a minor altercation but it made me very aware of how precarious the right to freedom of speech is when attempting to balance a number of variables especially when you run the risk of offending the sensibilities of some little martinet after that i consciously or not seem to have played it safe for a while as i appear to have concentrated on book reviews and similarly non confrontational pieces but the lure of jumping in with all guns blazing was too tempting to make me stay out of trouble for long as things have worked out i left archaeology as my day job i m now rather happily employed in the world of it it had many advantages including decent pay regular hours adherence to legal requirements for health and safety and i m not made to regularly give thanks for the pleasure of being treated like dung for the privilege of having a job etc all stuff i sum up as it s indoors there s no heavy lifting for all that back in december 2011 i was still in the position of being 40 and unemployed i d walked out of my supposedly permanent job in the profession i adored and now had no idea where i d go and what i d do while i was receiving notifications that i wasn t qualified for basic entry level positions in various places i kept writing for my blog at that stage i just needed something to keep me sane and stop me from despairing at my lack of success and direction in life by the time i got the post where i am currently i just continued writing it seemed therapeutic and it has allowed me to transition from one realm of employment to another with much greater ease than i imagine it would have been if i d just made a clean break of it as i ve alluded to before the fact that i m independent of the archaeological world has allowed me to be much freer in what i write about knowing that i m not beholden to anyone in the field for work and most especially that i don t have to face an angry employer or their office minions after i post something controversial i very much agree with you on what you say about blogging allowing you to feel connected to the wider archaeological world i remember years ago going to a conference on the burgeoning field of archaeological perspectives on gravestones and feeling overwhelmed that there were other people out there that shared my interests and were thinking along the same lines as myself even trying to keep in touch with the published literature you never got the same sense that there were other people out there working away in universities and in spare bedrooms to hone their ideas and publish their findings with social media all that has now changed you can be anywhere from azerbaijan to zimbabwe and once you have an internet connection you can tap into what the latest research though and discussion is in your preferred field blogging is to bloggers at least a vital part in that great effort of communication and yes i really do feel connected to the wider archaeological world through it i ve joked before and with only slight bitterness that i ve become more influential and respected in the time since i left professional archaeology than i ever was in the twenty years previously since emerging as a blogger i ve had numerous requests to produce papers for collected volumes been offered noticeably more speaking engagements i ve been asked to act as session chair for a conference later on this summer i m participating in a summer school discussion panel i even get invited to discussion interviews like this frankly it s brilliant i feel like some forgotten painter that s died and suddenly there s significant interest in his work thankfully without the requisite of having passed away i think i ve yammered on for long enough and it s time to turn some questions over to you we ve both spoken at a bit of length about how we got into blogging but how do you find it as an ongoing experience how do you decide what to write and what to prioritize and by extension what won t you write about or what do you shy away from addressing more broadly i wonder how you feel about your initial fears now from an outsider s perspective you ve very much emerged as an engaging and authoritative voice and public face to human osteology for bioarchaeology in social media i would certainly rate you among the top handful of bloggers in your area i ll admit that i don t read everything you post but what i do see is really well written and informative even if much of it is clearly aimed at a more specialist reader than myself it s an unfair question but i ll ask it anyway how do you see yourself and what do you feel the successes of your blogging experience have been tbom i shall look into those business cards ah quite a few questions there but ones that are pertinent to our general discussion today so i ll answer them one by one as an ongoing experience blogging is endlessly fun interesting frustrating and time consuming i often think of ideas for future blog posts and quickly jot down a skeletal entry only for them to get bogged down in the detail when i come to think of writing them out more fully i ve never particularly been a fast writer who can type out paragraph after paragraph without a break editing takes the longest time and still mistakes get through i think after a while you become blind to your own mistakes although this may also be an effect of the fact that i tend to write the majority of the posts around 1am or 2am after a shift at work as an ongoing experience i do love it i hope it is evident that i do recently i ve found myself wanting to explore different issues on the blog as well as the more daily posts of short course updates book or conference mentions and basic human osteology or bioarchaeology centered posts the further that time and the life of the blog goes on the more cautious i become in quickly writing posts i try to vary the output including things often not talked about in other bioarchaeology blogs the social and academic aspects and costs of bioarchaeology and archaeology more generally open access to journal articles personal views of bone disease and fractures etc as the blog has gone on i feel that in order not to mislead readers and subscribers that hard subjects should not be avoided or fobbed off i ve been working on a draft of a post on the bioarchaeology of suicide attacks tentatively titled the body as a weapon but each time i add to the disjointed post i can t help but feel what other people may think of it however it will be posted i just need to find more time to sit and work on it or on the modern case studies and the implications for this as yet theoretical model same too for the embryonic posts focusing on disability sexuality and disability film two posts focusing on the intersection of their subjects that sit half finished in the draft folder i feel a greater responsibility to the authors of the research that i cite or of the short courses or conferences that i attend in order not to mislead readers on their research this has often led to fruitful collaboration on editing posts especially so when bioarchaeologists are excited about the impact and reach of social media i ve been lucky in another area of the blog the willingness to extend invites to guest blog entries and interviews and now discussions the interviews are something in particular that i want to develop and extend i should prioritize posts really i have a write up of the belfast conference i attended last october and the san francisco conference from april that need to be finished up and posted i always feel a greater debt to editing and giving feedback to guest bloggers first and foremost the ideas for posts generally come fairly randomly if they are ton already sitting in the draft folder or ones that i aim to write within a series for instance the skeletal series next two posts will focus on the aging and sexing techniques used in bioarchaeological analysis of skeletal remains there is something that i do shy away from writing about famous skeletons i e the medieval english king richard iii or the new research on phillip ii from ancient greece i feel that other blogs often cover these more expertly then i and that the remit of famous skeletons does not fit this blog even as broad as this is which reminds me i need to cover some human evolution research personally i feel that the great and growing battery of bioarchaeological analyses is brought down on these individuals to the detriment of the anonymous skeletal remains of past individuals it reminds me of material wealth as the great social indicator of power or at least our view of it think of any headline from an archaeological site that made it into the public domain and it will largely focus on any extravagant burial aside from that there isn t much i would not discuss on the blog i am sometimes dismayed that employment within bioarchaeology isn t discussed on other blogs or the stress of the lifestyle and the sheer tenacity needed to succeed or even just survive in this field which conveniently leads onto the next point meyers emery and killgrove 2015 open access recently succinctly highlighted the dearth of consistently updated bioarchaeology blogs out there mine was one of 6 that was discussed and quoted in the article although one of those is now not regularly updated i feel a greater responsibility but understand the very privileged position that this blog has attained throughout the past 4 years i should say that i do no speak for any organisation institution or discipline directly or have any direct affiliation through employment with a company that i speak only as myself i do wonder though whether this blog has cost jobs before or whether my physical disability has already helped in that area the combination of the two may just be a dastardly mix still and this is an area that i am keen to write about more i am proud to write about my own bone disease on the blog and of disability more generally as in both as a feature of the bioarchaeological record and of those who work study or just have a passion in archaeology more generally i hope i can be held up as a positive example that disability does not hold you back no matter what where blogging archaeology can take you part 2 fisherman s wharf in san francisco april 2015 this was a pretty busy area of the city but also one that harked back a bit further to its maritime history author s own photograph i guess i am uncomfortably comfortable in my blogging position of bioarchaeological authority i ve put time and effort into maintaining this site for the benefit of the readers and subscribers and of my own ongoing education there is something that i m keen to highlight though and i d be interested if any other bioarchaeology bloggers heard the same that some of my friends which includes a broad range of specialists and non specialists have fed back that sometimes they don t understand the posts whether this is a failure of my own communication and or the extent of the specialised lexis used within bioarchaeological research i am not quite sure but it reminds me that not everything is as open as you d think how do i see myself that is a good question i am more intrigued how others see me and that they may not realise but that i largely do the bioarchaeology blog on the side when i have the spare time and inclination to research and write but how do i see myself i guess i see that i have succeeded in one childhood dream that i am a...
