It's always comforting to know that a scholar, whose book I've invested in, hangs around bars/pubs rather than a library. :)

Great interview, guys. Thanks for doing this, it's very helpful.

I really appreciated Chris' answer to James' question about how to do history after the criteria. I totally agree that there has always been more to HJ research than the criteria, and really like what you say about the historian's role in doing history - it's up to us to make the arguments.
