CCIG - The Future of the Publics Programme

The Publics Research Programme is holding a meeting that will consider the future direction of the programme. Following the completion of a number of the Publics projects (e.g., the ESRC seminar series, the Rethinking the Public book) we think it is time to look at the ways in which the Programme might be shaped. We will discuss emerging individual and collective research interests and how best to support them through the work of the programme. Past, present and potential friends of the programme are warmly invited.

If you are unable to come (and we know that not everyone will be able to), it would be very helpful if you would tell us whether you do want to be a member of the programme, and send us a short page (or even a paragraph) about your current research/intellectual interests and their links to Publics.
