Be part of the process of creating a dictionary - either as a member of the steering group, a participant in the workshops or a potential contributor

We plan to establish a small steering group of colleagues from a variety of disciplines, to select the terms for inclusion. We would then convene a series of cross-disciplinary workshops on the terms. We will publish the Dictionary as an open-access volume, which we anticipate will become a landmark work in the field. We also hope that the conversations we have about these terms would in themselves make a valuable contribution to cross-disciplinarity at UCL. This will be one of the IAS’s contributions to the UCL Bi-Centenary, so the timing of the publication will be linked to that, but we envisage the project as one that could continue beyond 2026.
If you would like to take part in this project, either as a member of the steering group, a participant in the workshops or a potential contributor, please write to the IAS Director, Nicola Miller (Nicola.miller@ucl.ac.uk). Suggestions for terms to include are also very welcome. It would be very helpful to hear from you by Monday 13 November (just a short note expressing interest is all that’s asked for at this stage, so that we can see who to invite to a meeting).
