> SOCIAL MOVEMENTS CONFERENCE  - CALL FOR PAPERS
> abstracts due by Monday 22nd February 2010
>
> From 1995 to 2009, 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 Fifteenth AF&PP Conference  
> will be held, between Monday 29th March and Wednesday 31st March 2010.
>
> 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 50 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.
>
