Anne Cranny-Francis, “IASH for me in 2008 was a welcoming space, an interlude away from the politics of my own University, a place to be a scholar… This interdisciplinary group is typical of the rich intellectual mix of researchers in residence at IASH, which makes the fellowships so inspiring and fruitful… At a time of intellectual specialisation that seems to contradict the calls for transdisciplinarity, IASH is a special place.”
