Thanks. I have signed and also sent a message stating that many of the world's largest corporations now have ethnographers and anthropologists embedded within their R&D teams to explore user needs and provide input about people and practices for their product development processes. Anthropological approaches are increasingly in demand from a business and policy perspective. Glasgow is seriously missing a trick here.
Just an idea, but in light of the current threatened funding environment in the UK, it probably wouldn't hurt for the ASA or RAI to built some business case examples to demonstrate and publicise this often underestimated value. I know the AAA did something similar in a limited way a couple of years back.
Best regards,
David
