CULTURAL CRIMINOLOGY:
CONFERENCE UPDATE
The Second International
Conference on Cultural Criminology
12th-13th
May 2006, The Goodenough College, Mecklenburgh Square, London, WC1N
2AB
Dear All,
With the conference now only 13 weeks
away, I thought it might be useful to bounce round a quick update,
including details of some of the recently added speakers and themes.
Alongside an outstanding array
of plenary speakers including Dick Hebdige (University of Santa Barbara,
California) Jack Katz (University of California, Los Angeles) and Jock Young
(University of Kent), I'm delighted to announce that we will also be joined by
Professor Angela McRobbie (Goldsmiths College, University of London) who will be
presenting new research under the title 'Re-visiting feminism: the gender
politics of rage'.
A selection of some of the other
recently added strands/papers include:
Professor Frank Furedi (University of
Kent) - 'Fear of crime: a problem in its own right?
Dr. Heitor Alvelos (Royal College of
Art) - 'The reversible Murder of Reality: an encyclopaedia of fabricated
transgressions in a free culture'
Dr. Fiona Measham (Lancaster
University) - 'Blast off and Castaway: alcohol, drugs and the new culture of
intoxication'
Professor Willem de Haan (University
of Groningen, Holland) - 'The multicultural drama in the
Netherlands'
Dr. Majid Yar (University of Kent) -
'Cultural economy meets political economy: shotgun wedding or match made in
(Marxist) heaven?
Dr. Katja Frako Aas (University of
Oslo) - ''You should treat yourself with a journey': globalization and the
criminology of methodological nationalism'
Other more general panel sessions
will turn around subjects including (but not limited to) crime and gender,
the culture of crime markets, cultural criminology and the internet, drugs and
drug regulation, ethnicity and street socialization, and filmic
violence.
Registration numbers for the event
are strong and thus those interested in attending should contact me: [log in to unmask] sooner
rather than later to avoid disappointment.
Please do not hesitate to make
contact if you have any questions.
Best wishes,
Keith
