Interested in staying in touch?

We have launched an occasional newsletter to draw attention to new research, publications, web-sites, conferences, policy initiatives or other developments which might interest the people who visit these pages. The newsletter may also include reviews and critical commentaries on current events on which we regard ourselves as well-informed.

The idea is NOT to attempt any kind of exhaustive overview (there are already dozens of web-sites which purport to do this, and it gives us a headache just looking down their lists of links), On the contrary, the idea is to be highly selective and critical, with the aim of filtering out or exposing the hype, the unoriginal reworkings of old research, the spurious coinage of catch-phrases and anything else we regard as a waste of an intelligent reader's time.

This newsletter is

• fairly infrequent - certainly no more often than four times a year and usuallly less
• short - if there is a long article we would like to draw your attention to then we will give you a link and put it on the web site rather than cluttering up your mailbox
• free

We are not a fancy high-tech operation, so please do not expect any bells or whistles. You will get a plain text email which will be handled manually at this end.

If you think this sounds interesting and would like to be added to the circulation list, please email us here, using the word 'subscribe' as your subject heading. If at any time in the future you wish to be removed from the list, all you have to do is reply to this address using the word '' in the subject heading. Please feel free to tell us what sorts of things you would like to see in the newsletter and what you do or don't like about our web-site.

We look forward to hearing from you
