>> Dear friends and colleagues,
>>
>> I have been in touch with most of you in the context of the research
>> project "The urban environment – Mirror and mediator of
>> radicalisation?"
>> You either agreed to an interview, provided written information,
>> participated in a workshop, acted as minute taker, helped to
>> administer
>> the project, served on the advisory board, took photographs of your
>> daily environment or simply expressed an interest in our work.
>>
>> Today, I have the pleasure to announce the release of some findings
>> of
>> this project. Most importantly, the project exhibition will be
>> launched
>> on Nov. 5 2009 in Belfast (flyer attached) before it starts touring
>> to
>> Beirut, Berlin, Amsterdam and Manchester. A related website went
>> live a
>> few days ago at <www.urbanpolarisation.org> and a press release
>> (attached) will go out to the national UK press next Monday. Feel
>> free
>> to take a sneak preview already today.
>>
>> A more academic output is a paper in Urban Studies on “Written and
>> Unwritten Building Conventions in a Contested City”
>> <http://tinyurl.com/ygbjlq6>. Other findings from Belfast will soon
>> be
>> published in the Journal of Urban Technology. This special issue on
>> “The
>> architecture of war and peace” will also contain a literature
>> review on
>> “Polarization as socio-material phenomenon”; co-authored with Sara
>> Fregonese. Publications about Amsterdam, Beirut and Berlin will
>> follow
>> in 2010.
>>
>> I hope you will find some of these results interesting and would very
>> much appreciate your feedback. And hopefully you will be able to
>> join us
>> for drinks, nibbles and chats during the exhibition launch next week.
>>
>> All the best
>>
>> Ralf Brand
>>
>> PS: It might be possible to display the exhibition also in other
>> cities.
>> Get in touch.
