Good luck Mary!

Too true. He is a great loss to comparative law/globalisation scholarship.

Just been working with a survey which indicates how few UK universities teaching some form of comparative law include sessions on methodology. Tendency to teach "Comparative and international perspectives on ..." without thinking what that actually entails. Hopefully more positive in Finland.

Whole-heartedly agree. So many PhDs/articles start with the simple sentence, "I will be using functionalism ..." without considering methodology more deeply.

So hoping this happens. Sounds as if there are a lot of discussions, however, before we get there.

Be careful what you wish for when they arrive in your reviewer's box!

Not a view greatly shared in the UK whatever your political stance!

It does feel like that at the moment. Sunny day ahead and then you switch on the news headlines ...

But we need also to think about what we mean by 'bridge buidling' and remain neutral commentators while respecting both sides of the bridge Often not the easiest of tasks.

Yes I do feel I should be digging out my school History notes on C19 economic history.

Yes finally made it and good to be part of, I hope, an emerging comparatist community.
