Welcome to members
ISLE has to be genuinely useful to be worth supporting. This
website, developed by Sean
Wallis, is likely to be its most important element (at
least between conferences), and
we hope that it will become a resource that you want to contribute
to, make frequent use of, and tell others about. The Research
Network allows members to signal - in as much or
as little detail as they wish - their current or future
research plans, especially before completion and publication:
anything from a conference paper to a dissertation to a major
funded project, whether with a formal title or just an indication
of the general area. Think of it as (among other things) a
matchmaking service to put like-minded scholars in contact.
Other self-explanatory pages such as Conference
announcements and other Links
should also grow increasingly useful as they become more comprehensive.
Our aim is to keep the information reliable, up-to-date and
in tune with members’ interests. Please join in, and encourage
your associates as well.
Let us know if you have practical suggestions for other
activities that ISLE might engage in. If for the website,
get in touch with the Vice-President for the Profession, Bas
Aarts, otherwise please mail me
or another appropriate committee
member. The resources of ISLE are modest, so be patient: we
will have to be selective. We hope you like the start we've
made.
