SSPEL Newsletter: Research and Scholarly Activities

I am about to email Sage with the completed book proposal. It has been an interesting experience assembling it, and it shows real teamwork around the School. I have had some prior experience of collaborative work, involving several institutions, and several efforts have been utter nightmares, showing academics at their worst -- bitchy (especially the men), petty, jealous, vindictive and selfish. This one was based on thorough preparation, straightforward and open discussion and generous compromise -- long may it continue!

All we can do now is wait for comments from the reviewers. There may be difficult times to come but I am sure we will cope. (Sorry -- sounds a bit like Monty at Alamein)
