Call for Papers. Deadline Monday July 21st.

Organized by the Department of Sociology, Cambridge University
Date: Sep 26-27, 2014
Venue: Faculty of Human, Social, and Political Sciences, Free School Lane, Cambridge, CB2 3RQ

This conference moves beyond crisis as a category of diagnosis and critique to explore alternative horizons, raising fundamental questions about the nature and extent of ruptures and continuity in the contemporary social world.

We are motivated by the generational need to draw upon the legacies of critique, while shifting toward the production of alternative futures.
From diagnosis to treatment. From deconstruction to reconstruction. From negation to vision. From crisis to progress. Such is the responsibility of our Age, from which positive social change might rise.

We welcome contributions from researchers, activists, artists, and professionals from across the world on the following topics, though this list is by no means exhaustive, and we are keen to receive contributions on other topics aligned with the conference theme:

    • CRITICAL AND EMPANCIPATORY THOUGHT AND ACTION
    • SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION AND CITIES
    • ALTERNATIVE ECONOMIC PRACTICES
    • WORK AND LIFE
    • MEDIA
    • EDUCATION
    • REVOLUTIONS AND SOCIAL PROTEST
    • (POST) DEMOCRACY
    • ENVIRONMENT

We have also introduced a soapbox session within the Conference programme and encourage speakers to participate. For the natural orators out there, the soapbox session provides you with the opportunity to stand up for 2 minutes and air your fiery, risky, extravagant and controversial views on the following question: WHAT IS RADICALISM?

The conference is organized by PhD students from the Department of Sociology, University of Cambridge. To give attendees time to explore the city’s history and socialise, the conference will be held over two days.
