'''Dear Authors,''' | |||
I am writing with an update on the progress of the Global Informality Project. | |||
'''Big news:''' I am pleased to inform you that the Global Encyclopaedia of Informality has been | |||
resubmitted to the UCL Press on Friday 3 March 2017. We are grateful to our anonymous | |||
reviewers and wish to acknowledge the critical importance of their reports to the UCL Press. | |||
At various stages of the project, whether at book proposal stage, reading and commenting | |||
on entries, conceptualisation, or at the stage of the final submission, their critique has | |||
guided, influenced and corrected our course of action. We also thank our authors who | |||
acted as light tough peer reviewers for the Encyclopaedia. | |||
We have been honoured to benefit from the conceptual contributions to this Encyclopadia: | |||
Zygmunt Bauman, Svetlana Barsukova, Vladimir Gelman, Christian Giordano, Eric Gordy, | |||
Philip Hanson, David Henig, Paul M. Heywood, David Jancsics, Jan Kubik, David Leung, | |||
Daniel McCarthy, Nicolette Makovicky, Colin Marx, Scott Newton, Sheila Puffer, Scott | |||
Radnitz, Leonie Schiffauer, Klaus Segbers, Elena Semenova, Florence Weber, Colin C. | |||
Williams and Peter Zusi – all of whom provided invaluable insights and made it possible to | |||
frame the empirical data. We are sad to inform you that Professor Bauman has passed away | |||
in January 2017. | |||
We do not have a publication date yet, as the project has exceeded its anticipated length | |||
(twice!) and the resultant two volumes will require much more work from the copyeditor. | |||
When requested, please sign your contributor’s agreement and return to the UCL Press at | |||
c.penfold@ucl.ac.uk and help the Press in other ways too. More on the UCL Press FRINGE | |||
series: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ucl-press/series. | |||
'''Online version:''' We are delighted to announce that the working version of the www.in- | |||
formality.com is now live, and you are most welcome to give it a try. It would be useful to | |||
have your feedback and also requests for corrections. It is likely that we will have a UCL | |||
Digital Humanities intern this summer responsible for updating the website and perfecting | |||
the tagging system for each entry. We look forward to continuing work with you on making | |||
the dataset searchable and easy to use. | |||
'''Dissemination:''' The website was presented at the final Meeting of the FP7 ANTICORRP | |||
project deliverables report to the European Commission in Brussels, on 7 February 2017. | |||
The poster on the Global Informality Project will be presented at the 2017 OECD Global Anti- | |||
Corruption & Integrity Forum on 30 and 31 March 2017 in Paris. We attach the poster with this | |||
newsletter, so that you could display it in your institution and disseminate the findings of the | |||
project. | |||
'''World Map of Informality:''' We have also created a prezi template for the Global Informality | |||
project and invite everyone to use it in your presentations. Please disseminate the | |||
outcomes of the project and do let us know how and where you used it – we will include it | |||
in the following Newsletters. Please email to informality2014@gmail.com. Do spread the | |||
word and please look out for countries that we do not have! | |||
'''The FRINGE connection:''' | |||
