In, against, and beyond neoliberalism: the political, environmental and economic manifestations of crisis

Issued: Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:25:00 GMT

21 – 23 March 2012

Venue: the Scottish Trade Union Congress, 333 Woodlands Road and the University of Glasgow.

This conference addresses critically the many dimensions of the contemporary crisis, conceptualized broadly in its economic, political, and environmental dimensions. It aims to create the intellectual space to think through and explore the multiple social formations through which ‘crisis’ is made manifest and contested. The conference will also engage with and foster attempts by the left to politicize the crisis in theoretical and strategic terms.

Speakers include: Jamie Peck, Jane Wills, Vinay Gidwani, Wendy Larner, Stephen Boyd and Cathy McCormack.

The first afternoon, held at the Scottish Trade Union Congress building, will explore emerging political responses to the crisis. This event will be free, all welcome. 

Registration fees for the three days are: £85 waged, £25 student/ unwaged.

Organised by the Glasgow University Human Geography Research Group.
