Sorry, not on here much. Dave F was my PhD supervisor so it came to mind easily. Nobody else in particular I can think of.

Great to receive this today. Eds. Tilman Schwarze and Matt Dawson. Feel free to DM for my chapter on the spatialities of Lefebvre's territorial autogestion and the Situationist International theory of generalised self-management.
