Letter: ‘Paul Spencer’s anthropological perspective was an eye-opener’

In his obituary of Paul Spencer, Richard Waller talks of Paul's nine years with the Tavistock Institute in the 1960s as a period in which he carried out "sociological research unrelated to his work in Kenya".

I had the opportunity to work closely with Paul during four of those years - on an interdisciplinary Nuffield Foundation project that was intended to shed light on, and if possible suggest changes to, the processes of policymaking in city government.
