Right, even longer ago - time passes more quickly than I prefer to acknowledge.
That's, to put it mildly, unusual editorial behaviour. The request was probably due to someone else not submitting their review. It should have come with apologies and been followed by thanks. Hope all is well with you otherwise! I still fondly remember our MA course in 2011/12.
There are worse places to die on (or, better yet, visit while being alive) than the hills and moors of West Yorkshire!
I wrote a brief piece on 'Crime fiction and multiculturalism', focusing on the novels of A.A. Dhand and Saima Mir. These are set in Bradford, where I did some urban walking last September and took pictures, some of which are included as images.

Try Joachim Häberlen. He is no longer in academia but I could get you in touch.

Are you looking for a publisher for your manuscript in cultural history or heritage studies? We are setting up a new book series with Bloomsbury, titled Cultural History and Historical Culture.
What does p. 99 say or not say about a book? I applied this test to my own one and incidentally tried to make a broader point on the relationship between social democracy and individual freedom.

This essay summarises the approach and key arguments of my recently published book The Quest for Individual Freedom. It also argues for the usefulness of Isaiah Berlin's famous concept of negative freedom, but in the plural rather than the singular.
