Dear Susan,
Congratulations on being awarded AHRC funding for this excellent research project. I received a copy of your proposal as a member of the AHRC Peer Review College and thought then that it obviously had great potential value for Area Studies in the UK and beyond. I look forward to this potential being realised and would certainly like to be involved in some way. I will also bring the research network to the attention of BACS members at our upcoming conference in London.
Best wishes,
Tony

Subject: RE: AHRC Blurring Genres Network
Dear colleagues,
Blurring Genres Network: Recovering the Humanities for Political Science and Area Studies
I wanted to let your members know of a new cutting edge research network funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. This project will put in place a network of scholars and policy-makers to explore innovations in theory and practice in recovering the research methods of the Arts and Humanities encouraging their use by Political Scientists, Area Studies scholars and policy-makers in the UK and beyond. It will investigate blurring genres, or crossing boundaries between the disciplines in pursuit of insight into making and remaking theory, policy and practice in modern government. The group will bring together leading international scholars working on interpretive approaches to investigate what added value interdisciplinary research teams can bring to traditional research approaches.
Over the next two years the network will study the use of narratives and meta-narratives (narratives about narratives) for Historians, Political Scientists, Sociologists, Anthropologists and Philosophers, as well as for policy-makers. The Blurring Genres Network will encourage sharing of best practice to inform future policy-making and innovative scholarly work. The network will encourage interdisciplinary research between scholars in the United States, UK, China, Australia, Canada, Brazil and elsewhere with an international and comparative approach. It will also organize a research field that, to date, has been unstructured, lacking regional conferences, publications or directly relevant professional associations. Furthermore it will provide opportunities for UK scholars to lead the world in this emerging field of international research while bringing together a number of learned societies.
The first seminar on Politics as Drama will be held in London on 28th June 2016. Other seminars are scheduled (draft) as Politics as History-Manchester University- Monday 27th Feb. 2017, Politics as Anthropology- University of Southampton- Friday 23rd June 2017, Politics as Literature- University of California Berkeley- Wed. 6th Sept. 2017 and Politics as Philosophy- Ulster University-Friday 17th November 2017.
We would be keen to involve those interested in blurring genres research from Area Studies. Please ask your members if they would like to express interest in a seminar(s) and are/interested in conducting related research to contact Susan Hodgett at [log in to unmask]<https://mail.bham.ac.uk/owa/redir.aspx?REF=SfkJdbhNTqav1KHSncXNo0xwhInQtS_JsNcxTP4jgiIFFy9I1GnTCAFtYWlsdG86c2wuaG9kZ2V0dEB1bHN0ZXIuYWMudWs.>

Many thanks,
