Happy New Year from the ADR Research Network!

Posted on by

To all our followers and supporters of the ADR Research Network Blog.

Happy New Year and our best wishes for 2017!

It’s fair to say that 2016 was our most successful year yet. The Blog achieved its highest number of views since it was established in 2013 with more than 9000 views and almost 6000 visitors. Compare this with just over 800 views and just over 400 visitors for 2013. The Network members posted 64 posts across the year on diverse and interesting DR matters. These posts reached readers on almost every continent of the world.

In 2017 we aim to continue our contribution to scholarly critical thinking about DR and its place in contemporary global societies.  We look forward to growing the Network, and increasing the reach of our collective scholarship even further.

Thank you for following us in 2016 – we hope you will join us for another great year in 2017.

With our warmest wishes

The ADR Research Network Members
