Two questions, when you have some time:
1) Do you happen to know if these (or previous) lectures have been recorded and posted anywhere? I have a few from 2005 and 2006, but nothing beyond that.
2) Would you have some time to discuss further insights on life and studies in the UK? My wife and I are looking to move to Cheltenham this Fall so that I can do PhD studies with Andrew Lincoln (primary) and Lloyd Pietersen (secondary). Also, I have not read through your thesis proposal in full, but on a cursory there seems to be some overlap with mine, which would certainly be interesting.

1) The guy who was recording these has left, and to my knowledge they’re not posted anywhere.
2) Sure, I’ll give you a shout out.
