Hello all,

After four years of research (2005-2009) at the LSE, I have successfully defended my thesis based on a detailed case study of specific aspects of the MARCEL Network. You can find an abstract and download the full document here:

The field research took place over a 31 month period from September 2005 and involved participant observation, interviews with over 30 respondents, and extensive document analysis. The overall research project was made possible by an EDS MARCEL Studentship from the Department of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Although much of the field work collected over this period could not be included in full in the thesis, I would like to thank everyone who helped me during the research. Your advice and contributions were invaluable. I would appreciate any feedback you may have about the work. If you have any questions or comments about the research, please contact me at f.lesage@lse.ac.uk .

best regards,

Frédérik
