Dear research assistant, see below, could you go there? , if necessary
without a paper, for research on 'creative classes', instead of me....I
can't, I think, CEU graduation plus Bergen conference. It would be an
interesting environment for gathering thoughts and data, as well as tasting
the Petersburg push in that ideological/practical direction. Paid from my
research budget, in function of your function, derived from your function
for my function...etc. If yes, pls organise.
