| Spring is here: It’s a time for new beginnings, and for new beginnings at the IFSH. You’ll notice, dear readers, that we’ve treated ourselves to a complete makeover. We now appear in a new guise: fresh colours, different logo (see below) and with a new newsletter. We want to let you hear more from us going forward, and we want to generate interest for our work outside academic circles as well. So, on that note… you’ll be hearing from us again soon! | |
| Yours, | |
