Dear all,
Some of you may be interested in the following half-day seminar, being run
by the Social Research Association, which will take place on 3 July in
London. This year the theme is social research and technology.
The drinks reception afterwards traditionally goes on quite late, so it's a
good opportunity to network!
Yours sincerely
Juliet
