It\n is very rare for societies or institutions to change unless they are \nconfronted by specific forms of resistance. This conference investigates\n those moments of historical change when existing orders are put into \nquestion. In particular\, it seeks to challenge\n us to rethink ways in which we might understand resistance and asks us \nto read the past in order to inform the present through a focus on riot\,\n revolt and revolution\, and on the interplay between them.
\nWe\n anticipate that these and related issues will be of interest to people \nworking in\, among other areas\, philosophy\, political theory\, politics\, \nsociology\, international relations\, cultural studies\, the arts\, history\,\n government and law.
\nThe\n conference fee is £\;210. This includes refreshments\, lunch on Wednesday\,\n Thursday and Friday and a buffet dinner on the Thursday evening.\n
\;
There are a limited number of places available for graduate students and\n for people who have no institutional affiliation at the reduced price \nof £\;105. Please indicate if you wish to be considered for one of these \nplaces\; contact\n Nicola Clewer at (nc95@brighton.ac.uk) as soon as possible.
\;
Please note: the conference fee does not include accommodation and\, \nunfortunately\, we are unable to offer travel grants or other forms of \nfinancial assistance. A limited amount of reasonably priced student \nhalls of residence accommodation is available on a\n first come first served basis. \;
