As part of my ongoing STS ethnography, I am trying to narrow down the theme which I a(i)m to analyse in depth.
For analysis, I use TAMS. It's friendly developer, Matthew Weinstein, supported me already several times by implementing some of my requests.

Still new in the realm of research tools are social networking tools for researchers to connect. Academia.edu and Mendeley claim to offer new ways for researchers to find like-minded researchers, i.e. people with similar research interests.

Recently I received notification that two research proposals I wrote last year on citizen engagement in energy issues have been accepted. Great! This means I will be able to do a fair amount of research in this area over the next two years and hopefully put together a PhD from this work.

trying to come to terms with this river (i.e the Kemijoki, in Finnish Lapland) continues to be a challenge, even over a year after fieldwork.

The International Society for Ecological Economics is organising a conference in August 2010, based on this analysis:

Ingmar Lippert has been invited by by the Board of Students of the course Environmental and Resource Management of Brandenburg University of Technology, Germany to carry out a role play with students on "How do you define your company's CO2 Balance?"

Anup Sam Ninan has been invited by by the Board of Students of the course Environmental and Resource Management of Brandenburg University of Technology, Germany to give a paper on "Climate Change as Sites of Politics".

The German National Academic Foundation routinely carries out meetings of junior scholars in the social sciences. The foundation offers competitive scholarships to approximately 0.25 percent of the German university student population.

A member of our group, Ingmar Lippert, will be presenting a role-play on the "Corporate Construction of Carbon Emissions".

2nd of October 2009, the Social Technology Workshop will take place at the Virtual Knowledge Studio, Amsterdam.

The workshop will be hosted by the Virtual Knowledge Studio. The Virtual Knowledge Studio for the Humanities and Social Sciences is located in the International Institute of Social History.

A member of our group, Ingmar Lippert, has been invited to give a paper, entitled Dematerialising earth [1] as well as to act as respondent in the Stream "Government".
