About me:
To find out more about me and my research visit: http://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~uclfmis

I am a UK PhD student, registered at University College London. I am in France researching the reconfiguration of national identity in contemporary French museums and specifically the project for the the project for a national museum of immigration (Cité nationale de l’histoire de l’immigration: www.histoire-immigration.fr) opening in 2007.

Je suis doctorante britannique, inscrite à University College London. Je suis en France pour mener une recherche autour de la réinvention de l’identité nationale dans les musées français et en particulier dans la Cité nationale de l’histoire de l’immigration (date d’ouverture prévue : printemps 2007).

Pour en savoir plus: http://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~uclfmis
Who I'd like to meet:
Other research students working on similar issues, anyone living in Paris and especially in the 20e who'd like to meet up to chat about the issues, anyone with an experience of memory projects linked to immigration (especially in a museum or gallery context), museum professionals or volunteers interested in my research, other PhD students or freelance researchers looking to meet new people in Paris.

D’autres chercheurs ayant des centres d’intérêt comparables, toute personne résidant à Paris (surtout dans le 20e) désirant parler de ces sujets, ceux qui ont une expérience des projets de mémoire, surtout dans le domaine de l’immigration et sa mise en scène dans les galeries et les musées, les personnes travaillant dans les musées qui puissent être intéréssées par ma recherche, les doctorants/chercheurs actuellement sur Paris qui souhaitent faire des rencontres.

Ah, 'tis a terrible horrible shame and a waste, you being in France. Still, at least I can wave turtles at you from a far. And is this the most I've ever heard of your phd, after 2 years sharing a breakfast table? Shame on me (and you!). Keep up the good work...
