To: Social Movements Conference[s-sp]
Subject: Manchester social movements conference 17-19 March 2008
SOCIAL MOVEMENTS CONFERENCE - CALL FOR PAPERS
abstracts due by 4th February 2008
From 1995 to 2007, Manchester Metropolitan University hosted a series of
very successful annual international conferences on 'ALTERNATIVE FUTURES and
POPULAR PROTEST'.
We're very happy to announce that the Thirteenth AF&PP Conference will be
held, between Monday 17th March and Wednesday 19th March 2008.
The Conference rubric remains as in previous years. The aim is to explore
the dynamics of popular movements, along with the ideas which animate their
activists and supporters and which contribute to shaping their fate.
Reflecting the inherent cross-disciplinary nature of the issues, previous
participants (from over 40 countries) have come from such specialisms as
sociology, politics, cultural studies, social psychology, economics,
history and geography. The Manchester conferences have also been notable
for discovering a fruitful and friendly meeting ground between activism and
academia.
CALL FOR PAPERS
We invite offers of papers relevant to the conference themes. Papers should
address such matters as:
* contemporary and historical social movements and popular protests
* social movement theory
* utopias and experiments
* ideologies of collective action
* etc.
To offer a paper, please contact either of the conference convenors with a
brief abstract:
EITHER Colin Barker, Dept. of Sociology
OR Mike Tyldesley, Dept. of Politics and Philosophy
