| Description | The grant was for a seminar series, with the main aim to stimulate new agendas, and to make a contribution to conceptual debates and discussion across disciplines and national contexts. Rather than having key project findings and a direct impact on policy and practice in itself, the series aimed to discuss the possibilities for this. These possibilities included a contribution towards the general intellectual underpinnings of the development of policy and practice. |
