Special Issue - 'Living in a Material World'
http://www.psychogeography.co.uk/
I am pleased to announce that the first issue of 'The Journal of Psychogeography and Urban
Research' is now available online. In order to set the interdisciplinary tone that we
envisage for future issues of the journal, this 'special issue' showcases recent research
papers and writings from the celebrated 'Living in a Material World' (LIAM) conferences,
organised by Coventry and Brighton Universities since 1999. Over the last three years, the
LIAM initiative has been central to the encouragement of a new wave of thinking on the
urban environment, and we are therefore pleased to offer our support to the organisers of
LIAM following the success of their 2001 event.
