Registration is now open for the conference Proximities: Thinking about Relationality, 14th & 15th September 2011 The conference is hosted by the Morgan Centre for the Study of Relationships and Personal Life at The University of Manchester. Proximities will provide an exciting forum for the discussion of how social research can incorporate more complex and multi-layered accounts of personal lives into academic writings and analyses. We are using the concept of proximities as openly as possible to foreground a range of possible relationships and to avoid hierarchies of closeness, kin, or household and in order to include those forms which might conventionally be regarded as unimportant or marginal. Keynote Speakers Sue Heath, (Professor of Sociology, University of Manchester) Danny Miller, (Professor of Material Culture, University College London) Valerie Walkerdine, (Research Professor, Cardiff University) To view the full programme and to register on-line please visit our website. http://www.manchester.ac.uk/morgancentre Fees: £120 (standard) £60.00 (concession) Places are allocated on a first come first served basis and must be booked prior to the Conference.
