Foreword
This text was written in 1997, (prior to embarking upon my PhD programme), at a time when extensive organisational changes were being implemented throughout the English further education sector. These changes were driven by a managerial ethos that operated within a culture of privatisation. This Time Next Year We’ll Be Farting Through Silk(...) offers an autobiographical narrative, that tells of how the deregulation of the English further education sector impacted upon me in my role as an educator at that time. The paper presented here is an edited version of the original published by Ashgate: (2000), in Work, Craft and Labour: Visual Representations in Changing Histories, (Volume 1), eds., Valerie Mainz and Griselda Pollock, ISBN 7 7546 0232 X. Further documents have been added to this virtual version of the text, that can be accessed via (underlined) links throughout.
