Abstract
In this article, I reflect on what my research practice in studying logistics has taught me about my research governance roles. There can be no doubt that logistical techniques and technologies, from enterprise resource planning systems to ranking tables, have affected conditions of labour and life in the contemporary academy. Tracing such patterns of influence, however, should not blind us to the ways in which the university has become a site in which flexible work practices and the infrastructures that enable them have been developed and exported to other kinds of institutions and organisations. That many technological companies have come to brand their facilities as campuses and introduced 'no collar' regimes of workplace attendance and performance is only one register of this flow.
