The Pathways through Participation team were out in force at this year’s Voluntary Sector Studies Network (VSSN) / NCVO research conference, held over two days earlier this week at Leeds University. Sarah Miller made the case for using life stories in volunteering research as part of an IVR-led panel on the impact of volunteering, and Eddie Cowling and I presented on the findings from community mapping workshops that we held earlier this year as part of the first phase of the fieldwork.

Angela Ellis Paine is now on maternity leave, and is being replaced by Nick Ockenden, who will be acting-up as Director of IVR in Angela’s absence. Also on maternity leave is Joanna Wheeler from IDS who is a member of our advisory group. Her colleague Jethro Pettit has kindly agreed to come to the advisory group meetings in her place. Short biographies for Nick and Jethro are available here.

Welcome Sarah!
