VI International Conference of Critical Geography
Frankfurt, 16-20 August, 2011
Oppositional Struggles
Call for papers and special session proposals
In the wake of the global financial crisis, there is a pressing need to
critically map the emerging terrain of oppositional struggles.
Understandings of the crisis remain dominated by capital-centred
approaches. This set of sessions provide an opportunity to develop a
much more multi-faceted engagement with the politics of crisis,
situating the financial crisis within a much broader contestation of
neoliberal globalization. Seeking to go beyond the celebratory accounts
of the alter-globalisation movement, we are looking for sessions, papers
and other engagements that take stock of alternatives emerging in the
current conjuncture.
We are particularly interested in contributions that reflect the diverse
geographical contexts of struggle and engage with the following key issues:
• The politics of emerging alternatives to neoliberalism
• Possibilities and experiences of transnational solidarities
• Local articulations of oppositional and alternative politics
• Oppositional politics of gender, race, sexuality
• Contesting the crisis
• Geographies of labour and social movements
We would particularly encourage non-academic contributions from those
active in struggles, social movements and trade unions.
For more information please check the Conference website: www.iccg2011.org
or email us:
Deadline for expressions of interest: 10 January 2011.
