Between the lively discussions, ASCOLA members took time to reconnect and exchange ideas over dinner, drinks, and afternoon tea on the Thames!

Thank you to the local hosts  at UCL(University College London) and KCL (King’s College London):  Deni Mantzari, Ioannis Lianos, Stavros Makris, Todd Davies, Chris Townley, and Andriani Kalintiri! They say it takes a village, and in London all hands were on deck to make the conference come to life: the local hosts received support from Okeoghene Odudu from the University of Cambridge and Ioannis Kokkoris and Maria Ioannidou from Queen Mary University.

We are looking for chapter heads for two regional chapters: Benelux, and Eastern Mediterranean (Greece, Turkey, Israel). 

To be eligible as a regional chapter head you have to be an ASCOLA member, and be based in the region of the chapter you want to head up. Chapter heads are expected to organise regional activities for ASCOLA members, to review papers for the annual conference, to attend (whenever possible) the annual conference, and to overall enhance ASCOLA’s activities and outreach. Chapter heads are expected to endorse ASCOLA’s principles, including on Transparency and Disclosure, and on Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Safety. 

To indicate your interest, please email team@ascola.org by 19 June.
