Dear all, I am pleased to announce the launching of a new project at the University of Leeds - Cultivating Innovation - led by Professors Gregory Radick and Graeme Gooday. Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, Cultivating Innovation aims to increase public awareness of the roles played by intellectual property in contemporary science, with a particular emphasis on the plant sciences and agriculture. Over the next 12 months the project researcher is going to be working closely with key figures in industry and plant breeding, while attempting to build new collaborations with those working in public-policy, law, or organisations representative of civil society.

Contributions are sought for an interdisciplinary collection of essays to be edited by Allison Levy and published by Ashgate Publishing Co. in the new book series, Cultures of Play, 1300-1700 (see http://www.ashgate.com/default.aspx?page=5166; series editor Bret Rothstein). Dedicated to early modern playfulness, this series serves two purposes. First, it recounts the history of wit, humor, and games, from jokes and sermons, for instance, to backgammon and blind man’s buff. Second, in addressing its topic – ludic culture – broadly, Cultures of Play also provides a forum for reconceptualizing the play elements of early modern economic, political, religious, and social life. Within this framework, Playthings in Early Modernity - Party Games, Word Games, Mind Games emphasizes the rules of the game(s) as well as the breaking of those rules: playmates and game changers, teammates and tricksters, matchmakers and deal breakers, gamblers and grifters, scripts and ventriloquism, charades and mas...
