> SOCIAL MOVEMENTS CONFERENCE - FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
> abstracts due by Monday 2nd March 2009
>
> From 1995 to 2008, 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 Fourteenth AF&PP Conference
> will be held, between Wednesday 15th April and Friday 17th April 2009.
>
> 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.
>
> 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
