> 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

> Papers should address such matters as:
> * contemporary and historical social movements and popular protests
> * social movement theory
