Pam,
There is a flyer about the job winging its way to you as I write (actually
in a pile of mail on my floor!) as I was hoping you would be interested.
I've seen the covedr for the India book (via Laura at an Arnold Sales
Conference!). We are hoping to recruit an advisory board for the project
when it starts in March, so if you're interested let me know. We have to
tailor it a little around the programme's own advisory board, and to deal
with criticisms of that (not enough members of transnational communities
basically) but you had been mentioned!
Re the RA post do you know of any researchers on India who might be
interested? Or any PhD students you have etc?
Anyhow, good to hear from you. I've been off work for nearly two months so
slowly getting back into the swing of things and catching up with people.
All the best and thanks for the interest. In the new year maybe it would be
nice just to chat through some of our ideas behind the project and take
advice if you could spare any time
Phil
