e-Bulletin Round-up
From CHASM Director Andy Lymer
CHASM’s late spring/early summer period was occupied by a number of events and research deadlines – we are also pleased to be able to announce new research funding for an 18 month research project on finding and funding social costs to start in September (to be led by Louise, with my help).

Do please also check out our 2018/19 Annual Report, that was launched at our Annual Conference at the end of June as usual. Access to the full presentations of our speakers can be found on the Conference report page along with a video summary of the event.

Also worth highlighting from the details below are the reflections from three of our 2019 International Research Fellows who detail why they applied and what they are doing to work with various of the Centre’s Core members during their Fellowship year.

Thanks,

Andy Lymer
CHASM Director
