Dear All,
Apologies for the short notice – but it has taken some time to organise
this ‘administratively’…
We are very pleased to welcome SPA members to join a new study group for
the Sociology of Social and Public Policy, to be run jointly by the
British Sociological Association and the Social Policy Association.
(Please see attachment 'Study Group Aims' for an outline of the focus of
this study group). Membership of this group is free to all members of
both associations.
As this group is at its embryonic stage we are looking to new members to
contribute to shaping the group and its objectives. To this end, we are
holding a FIRST MEETING on the 8th January 2007 (1-3pm) in the Jubilee
Room at the Palace of Westminster and will discuss the future of the
group at this event. We do hope that any members of the SPA who are
interested in joining this study group, will also consider attending
this meeting.
Attached to this message is a flier for this event plus a registration
form that enables you to join the study group and/or register to attend
this FREE event!
We do hope to hear from you!
Yours faithfully,
Angharad Beckett and Justin Waring (Study Group Co-Convenors).
