'''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 &amp; 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:'''
The online version of the Global Informality project appears centrally on the UCL FRINGE
Centre website. To become a member of FRINGE and to receive the Centre’s newsletter,
sign up at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ssees/fringe-centre or write to use at fringe@ucl.ac.uk and
we will sign you in.
