FINAL CALL: E-commerce Symposium 8th September
Dear colleagues,
PUTTING E-COMMERCE IN ITS PLACE
Symposium, Wednesday, 8th September 2004 (12.00 - 5.00 pm)
School of Geography, University of Nottingham, University Park,
Nottingham, NG7 2RD
You are cordially invited to attend a symposium on e-commerce hosted by
the School of Geography, University of Nottingham.
Following an initial period of pronounced rhetorical inflation, there
has, more recently, been a marked intellectual downgrading of the
radical potential of e-commerce.
At the same time, however, the number of goods and services sold via the
Internet has continued to grow, to the extent that e-commerce has now
become normalised.
Presenting findings from a recent ESRC funded research project (Andrew
Leyshon, University of Nottingham, Nigel Thrift, University of Oxford,
Shaun French, University of Nottingham, Louise Crewe, University of
Nottingham, and Pete Webb, University of Birmingham), along with papers
from Andrew Murphy, University of Birmingham, and Andrew Currah,
University of Cambridge, the symposium seeks to contribute to ongoing
debates concerning the emerging economic geographies and economic
sociologies of e-commerce.
SYMPOSIUM DETAILS:
Registration is free and includes welcome lunch.
However, places are strictly limited, so please contact Shaun French
([log in to unmask]) asap if you wish to attend.
In order to provide maximum opportunity for discussion, papers will be
circulated prior to the symposium.
