This has involved the organisation of one or more sessions at the PSA Conference each year, the organisation of a one or two day Specialist Group Conference each September, and, since 1994, the editorship of the annual refereed journal Studies in Marxism. Apart from work subsequently published by individuals, the group’s output has included the four edited volumes detailed below, two edited volumes edited by other members, and the 13 volumes of Studies in Marxism. I have also been involved, as can be seen from the details of membership of University committees above, in the management of research degree students in the School and the University more generally. 10. Income Generation. I have had a little involvement in fund raising, but this has been very modest: a conference travel grant from the British Academy, money from the Political Studies Association to help with Studies in Marxism and to assist unfunded paper givers. My research has essentially been in the area of theory, which tends neither to need nor to attract large-scale funding. The output below has been achieved on under £5,000 in total, plus a modest amount of teaching relief. 11.
