Dan Banik thanks listeners and introduces the acronisation game invented by his colleague Desmond McNeill.
While much of the success of the show is due to my fabulous guests, I am also lucky to have a wonderful team to assist me at the University of Oslo. I wish to in particular thank Kristoffer Ring, our IT guru, and Oda Fagerland, Bella Reid, and Eliska Sottova for research assistance and transcripts.
My colleague Desmond McNeill, who was on the show earlier this year discussing the power of ideas and metaphors in international development policy, has invented a game which he calls “acronisation”.Â
The game is designed to test your knowledge about international organizations and bilateral aid agencies.Â
If you can identity 10 acronyms or more, Desmond would be delighted to receive an e-mail from you latest by the 11th of January.Â
Please write to Desmond at: desmond.mcneill@sum.uio.no
Happy holidays!
