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”. When? Tuesday 3 August, 1 pm Where? Room 211, Morven Brown Building, UNSW (map ref. C20: http://www.facilities.unsw.edu.au/Maps/pdf/kensington.pdf) A light lunch is provided. No bookings are required, and all are welcome.

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.
