TO: UTR Membership
We've had a couple of offers of papers for a broadly themed UTR event on urban research. Thanks to those who have offered papers. I was hoping to have a few more as we have only 10 days to turn around the proposal, so if you are interested in either:
Presenting a paper
Sitting on a discussion panel
Please do let me know as soon as possible. Proposed format of the session is to have at least 2 papers, if possible up to 4 in order to set the scene for discussion, at this stage all we need is a title so dont worry if you havent got a full paper, even just the title and an idea will be enough to get us started.
This paper session would be followed by a second session focussed on a discursive round-table / focus group discussing the issues facing urban sociologists in a multi-disciplinary research environment. This discussion would be broadly framed with some set bullet points to help guide the discussion should they be required on themes set by the participants / paper session.
If you are interested either in participating through paper presentation or in the round-table / focus group discussion session please let me know in the next 7 days so I can finalise the proposal, feel free to contact me for more information in the meantime. Once we have a solid proposal I'll also circulate information on the proposed session in the next edition of "The Word" for wider circulation to other colleagues.
Thanks again for the support, please do get in touch ;)
Best wishes and warmest regards
Peter
