We have been awarded a grant from the AHRC to continue our activities over the coming two years. We will hold two symposia and two retreats as a part of the project - one of each will be in Brazil. We are enormously excited to have this contiuned support for our work and are really looking forward to expanding the network and developing our transatlantic connections. Over the coming two years we aim to interrogate our own methods and work out what is really distinctive and valuble about our 'authority studies' approach. We will also be sharing our experiences and techniques of collaboration with current PhD students and hope to pass on the joy of retreats! Leila Dawney (PI) and Claire Blencowe (coI) are coordinating this project from the UK, with Aecio Amaral coordinating activities in Brazil.
