The longitudinal ethnography sounds interesting - if it turns up I 'd love
to know where to get it - it wouldn't be in the british library would it?

> I am preparing for some teaching next year. I am interested in presenting

> I will compile these into a list and read through them over the (southern
> hemisphere) end-of-year break. To those who submit references I will
> ensure
> that a full list of references I receive is sent on to all contributors.

> If readers choose to annotate references itelling me how they were
> exemplary or where they were worthy of note, I would consider that a great
> help and a bonus!
