> SOCIAL MOVEMENTS CONFERENCE - CALL FOR PAPERS
> abstracts due by 5th February 2007
>
> From 1995 to 2006, 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 Twelfth AF&PP Conference will
> be held, between Monday 2nd April and Wednesday 4th April 2007.
>
> 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

> Papers should address such matters as:
