1. Members’ Recent Publications

Members are invited to submit details of their recent publications to the conveners for inclusion in this section and for publicising to the membership via email newsletter. Please follow a format similar to that below when submitting details.  In order to keep the list genuinely ‘recent’, details of older publications will be periodically removed from the list. Therefore, members should also submit details to the Autonomy Bibliography (see below) for a more permanent record.
