Newcsatle University is looking for volunteers to help with a research project into the nature and composition of the shareholding base of Northern Rock as at February 2008. They would like to gather together small focus groups drawn from individuals who were small shareholders in Northern Rock at the time of nationalisation to explore how and why they became shareholders in the bank and also what their understanding of the nature of the shares they held actually was as well as what expectations they had (if any) of the role of financial regulation and the FSA in the time leading up to the run and the nationalisation. A Law Professor will be working on this project with colleagues based in the Centre for Urban and Regional Development Studies at thed University and also with a visiting academic from the University of Chicago who is an anthropologist by background but interested in the North East region and the effects that the events at Northern Rock have had on the region.
A fuller explanation is being obtained, inluding contact details, and will be posted as soon as possible.
