This issue of the News features reports on another highly praised awards ceremony, the major conference on Britishness and the latest in the annual series of Heads of Department Conferences – all held in November - December 2005. The Heads of Department Conference was particularly well attended this time, perhaps reflecting the agenda, which covered research planning, ESRC opportunities, student recruitment and the RAE. This last topic was particularly timely and the heads of departments found it a useful guide to departmental strategies. The session on postgraduate training was preceded by a demonstration of PARLE, a new multi- media package containing audio, visual and textual material, which will revolutionise the teaching of political science methodology. All in all a very successful winter. Now on to Reading.
