This book centres on the construction of an innovation model for services by interlinking Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical ideas- illustrating them with examples. Specifically, using Bourdieu’s general theory of economic practice to construct a social capital model of innovation

Chapter 1: Quickly summarises what the book does and the novel contributions - while others have written about entrepreneurship I offer the first application of Bourdieusian thought to the concept of innovation, and create a method around Bourdieu's general theory. Cambridge Scholars

Chapter 2: CHAPTER 2 Bourdieusian Theory and Applicaiton to Business Studies. Draws a line between existing theories in management and business studies and the theoretical ideas Bourdieu created, bringing them all into one model for others to use Cambridge Scholars

Chapter 3: Bourdieusian Theory and Application in Business Studies: Building off the theory in Chpt 2 we move into an explaintion of qual methods that Bourdieu used to learn how to collect data in accordance to his approach, and to build a general theory from it. Cambridge Scholars

Chapter 4: The Use and Advantages of Bourdieu- many ways to model innovation exist, but why use this one? Here I explain what is unique about Bourdieu and his epistemological rupture, and how it offers a multilevel (micro, meso and marco) model of innovation Cambridge Scholars

Chapter 5: Conculsion - the book concludes by bringing together theoretical and methodological learning and offering an extensive reference list of matieral for the reader to follow up on all things Bourdieu Cambridge Scholars

I've been very much enjoying trying to get my head about Lacan via Guy Le Gaufey. I had no idea that Lacan's logic has such a debt to Peirce. It seems that Lacan avec Peirce could be a rabbit hole for my reading list all of its own.

Our survey won't take you long, it really helps us understand what is currently happening, we'll be really grateful, and there might be biscuits!** **There are no biscuits.

I had a lot of fun translating the Português in this paper. I don't think there is a whole load of quants papers that use semiotics as an analytical frame. ojs.revistacontribuciones.com/ojs/index.php/…

This week's Seminar on anaesthetic trainee wellbeing was really engaging. I was very happy to attend a Med Ed talk that clearly signalled some new policy changes for core and foundation years.

Alongside staff from 2 different NHS Trusts in Cornwall, we've published a pilot evaluation of a new community-based healthcare role in BMC Primary Care (Who have an excellent special issue on the topic). I'd be happy to do more of this joint publishing. link.springer.com/article/10.118…

Very happily, my book has a review now many thanks to the Social Semiotics journal for platforming it "Bourdieu’s theory of economic practice and organisational modelling". tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

It's very lovely to see all the effort turn into outputs. Our work on identifying stressors for anaesthetics trainees is out as of today - …-publications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

As part of our work looking at the stressors for anaesthetists, our patient partner has also published her own personal reflection about the research. This is a nice way to widen the project and its footprint. Thank you Lyndsey! …-publications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/an…
