Please note that the Leverhulme-funded phase of Network activities has now been completed. IdentiNet continues as an informal association, while a Network publication as well as plans for a second phase of funding and events organised around a fresh set of themes beginning in early 2011 are currently being pursued. This page, as well as our online bibliographies, will still be maintained (updates, which can be tracked with our RSS Feed, continue as normal below). If you would like to suggest items for inclusion, or wish to become involved in the next stage of our activities, please Contact Us.

Published September 28, 2009 Conferences , Network Updates Leave a Comment
Our 2009 meeting took place from Friday 25 – Sunday 27 September 2009 at St Antony’s College at the University of Oxford. Under the rubric of Identifying the Person: Past, Present, and Future, a closed Network workshop at the European Studies Centre was followed by a public conference at the College, which showcased the research of our multidisciplinary international team and several other invited participants. The event attracted some media interest, while a detailed conference report is currently in development. In the meantime, for full programmes and downloadable abstracts, see the workshop and conference webpages.
