The mission of the School of Advanced Study is to support, promote and facilitate UK research in the humanities on a national scale. We want to open up and encourage more conversation, interest, and discussion about the humanities and its various sub-disciplines. As such we are in the process of re-developing our SAS blog (http://blogs.sas.ac.uk) to open it up as a place of discussion, debate, and opinion regarding the humanities.

As part of this process we would like to gather your thoughts about what this blog should include and how it should be presented. We would be very grateful if you would be so kind as to answer the six questions below.
