SOCIAL MOVEMENTS CONFERENCE - CALL FOR PAPERS
From 1995 to 2015, 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 Twenty First AF&PP Conference will be held between Monday 21st and Wednesday 23rd March 2016.
The Conference rubric will remain 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.
The workshop should include contributions that deal with case studies of Nordic leftist politicians, social democrats, greens, reform communists, trade unionists, youth activists, women's associations, peace activists and environmental activists on the one hand and representatives of the communist establishments of, on the one hand, the Soviet satellite states and the Soviet Union, on the other hand. The period of preference would constitute the late 1960s to 1989-91.
