Newsletter Issue 10: Welcome Message Wishing all readers a good 2012!
Dear friends,
We
hope this Winter 2011/New Year 2012 issue of the DCAL newsletter will
greet you soon after you return to work from a peaceful Christmas and
New Year break.
The newsletter reviews just some of the
activities that the DCAL team has been engaged in these last six months
since the DCAL summer newsletter.
All of us here at DCAL can
look back on 2011 as a busy and productive time - the first year since
the Centre's work was recognised by receive funding from the Economic
and Social Research Fund (ESRC) for a further 5 years' research and
public engagement work. This last year saw us set off on "DCAL II". We
look forward to continuing this journey into 2012, and once more to a
year of fruitful and inspiring collaboration with many newsletter
readers - academic colleagues, practitioners, press, policy makers and
community members.
We hope this issue will make interesting
reading for you. If you would like to read about any of the research in
more detail please go to DCAL's website or if you have comments or questions please email us.
With all good wishes for the New Year 2012,
DCAL directors - Professor Bencie Woll, Professor Gabriella Vigliocco, Professor Gary Morgan, Dr Mairead MacSweeney
