The NPT site (www.normalizationprocess.co.uk) has been really successful. Much more successful than any of us expected, in fact, and now gets several hundred views a month. Part of this is a result of Dan Pargeter's NPT Wikipedia entry lining directly to the site. Access stats for the NPT wkipedia page site show a steady increase in interest too. The next NPT paper will be published in Sociology in June 2009. It will be the first 'Open Access' paper published by that journal - which is also an achievement. It's currently available as a manuscript for download from my academia.edu page.
I am heading off to Victoria, British Columbia, today to present at 'In Sickness and In Health' which is a great conference run by Mary Ellen Purkis and friends. I shall be talking about sickness careers and sickness work, picking up on some of Talcott Parsons' work about sick roles. I'm looking forward to that - but not to the 18 hour journey!
