Hi all
I think this is a very important topic and would love to be joining you. I am attending the Value and Virtue in Practice-based Research conference at York St John University in early July, but have to return to N.Z. on the 12th unfortunately.
I wish the organisers and participants all the best for this colloquium and will look forward to reading any work that comes out of it.
Warm regards
Pip Bruce Ferguson

In order to maximise the opportunities for discussion and interaction, there will be a maximum of 40 attendees. Hence early registration is encouraged for those interested in being involved.
