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