Hi All,
Apologies for cross-posting, but I thought list members may be interested
in the Vital Politics II conference (see details below). Please note that
if you do wish to attend the deadline for early registration has been
extended, so the quoted date of 14 July is no longer correct.
I hope to see some of you there!
Best wishes
