SOCIAL MOVEMENTS CONFERENCE - CALL FOR PAPERS
ABSTRACTS DUE BY MONDAY 25TH FEBRUARY 2013
>From 1995 to 2012, 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 Eighteenth AF&PP Conference will
be held, between Monday 25th March and Wednesday 27th March 2013.
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 60 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:

There are two hostels only slightly further away, and still with walking
distance of the conference venue:
Hatters, Newton Street, Manchester
Hilton Chambers, Stevenson Square, Manchester.
These are both part of the same chain, with Hilton Chambers being
slightly more upmarket and thus slightly more expensive (but still
pretty cheap). Both can be accessed via
www.hattersgroup.com [5].
We cannot do hotel or hostel bookings for you.
Conference participants will be invited to dine together at two local
(and not too expensive) restaurants on the two conference evenings.
Payment for dinners should not be made in advance, but directly to the
restaurants on the night.
