SHUFFLE
FRINGE continues to engage in Director-shuffling practices. Michał Murawski took over as Director in September 2021. Peter Zusi (Director 2017-2021) and Alena Ledeneva (2015-2017) continue to play a crucial role in FRINGE's relentless processes of de-centring and re-centring, verticalising and horizontalising. Please direct queries and/or proposals related to the activities of FRINGE to Michał; and enquiries pertaining to the FRINGE Series to Alena and/or Peter.
Please also encourage your colleagues, grad students and assorted comrades - from UCL and far beyond - to join the FRINGE mailing list and take an active role in our numerous Fluid, Resistant, Invisible, Neutral(ish), Grey and Elusive activities.
