The public academic - some bits and pieces

Well I got back yesterday from my first "keynote" speech - talking about my Hard to Reach research on diversity in deprived neighbourhoods to the Equalities and Human Rights Commission in Wales Equality Exchange conference. 

They asked me to do a two-page summary of my talk and you can download the English version here. For conference participants, an English and Welsh translation will be distributed (so I'm told). And I've also PDFed my PowerPoint for download.

Finally, next week I'm giving evidence to the Local Government and Regeneration Committee of the Scottish Parliament who are doing an inquiry in regeneration in Scotland. You can download my submission here.
