> SOCIAL MOVEMENTS CONFERENCE - CALL FOR PAPERS
> abstracts due by Monday 14h March 2011
>
>> From 1995 to 2010, 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 Sixteenth AF&PP Conference will be
> held, between Monday 18th April and Wednesday 20th April 2011.
>
> 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

> lunch on Wednesday 20th April.
>
> Cost, inclusive of three lunches, teas/coffees and copies of the
> Proceedings on CD, will be ?135 (students and unwaged ?80).
>
> Unfortunately, the previous arrangement we had with the University of
> Manchester to provide bed and breakfast accommodation in student halls is
> not available in 2011. We are therefore obliged to refer conference
> participants to local hotels and hostels. These are plentiful, as the
> briefest search on the web shows.
>
> Two relatively cheap hotels are available, only a few minutes? walk from
> the conference venue on Oxford Road. They are Ibis, Charles Street,
> Manchester. {www.ibishotel.com/gb/booking/hotels-list.shtml"
> }www.ibishotel.com/gb/booking/hotels-list.shtml
> and
> Holiday Inn Express, 2 Oxford Road, Manchester.

> hotel bills if they visit
> {www.hotelscombined.com/Education_Support"
> }www.hotelscombined.com/Education_Support, and we?ll be
> interested to gather people?s experiences with this.
>
> 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 viawww.hattersgroup.com.
>
> 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.
