An overview of Giddens’ writing on time and space, concepts he calls “disembedding” and “distantiation”:

Jones, T. Colwyn and David Dugdale. Working paper: “The ABC Bandwagon and the Juggernaut of Modernity.” University of West England. Available 18 Jan 2011: http://www.mngt.waikato.ac.nz/ejrot/cmsconference/1999/documents/accounting/wwwagon.pdf


Video tutorial: Brigham Young University is UK’s recommended site for information on formatting electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) for easy publication both on the Web and on paper. These tools are equally useful for formatting hypertext in a .doc file or converting to .pdf, either of which can easily be read by our current students. This semester, The Graduate School at the University of Kentucky has misplaced the links, and Google isn’t very helpful, either. The repository of videos can be found here.
