CONTRACT AND DOMINATION - A Conference on the new book by Carole Pateman and Charles Mills
15-16 November 2007, Cardiff School of European Studies
Speakers: Carole Pateman (Cardiff) Charles W. Mills, (Northwestern), Terry Rees (Cardiff), Tariq
Modood (Bristol), Judith Squires (Bristol), Paul Kelly (LSE), Nirmal Puwar (Goldsmiths), Terrell
Carver (Bristol), David Boucher (Cardiff), Steve Garner (UWE), Mike Cole (Bishop Grosseteste
University College Lincoln).
The conference brings together Carole Pateman ‘The Sexual Contract’ (1988) and Charles Mills,
‘The Racial Contract’ (1997). The aim of this conference is to explore the implications of
their major new publication, ‘Contract and Domination’ for our understanding of and thinking
about issues of race and gender in relation to the social contract tradition, and to intrude them
more centrally into the debates surrounding contract theory, and to explore in what ways it may be
modified, or indeed rendered obsolete. The conference is multidisciplinary and of interest to
philosophers, political theorists, race/gender theorists, sociologists and policy practitioners.

Cities in print: Historiography and representation in urban history
Cities in print: Historiography and representation in urban history
A research colloquium to be held at the School of History, University of Liverpool, 19/20 September 2008.
This colloquium will bring together a small group of scholars working on urban history, representation and historiography. It will assess the portrayal of urban places and communities in print, interrogating the image and self-image of cities through
successive periods of commentary. Just as competing visions of cities have always been presented in contemporary publications, so specialist historiographies devised by generations of scholars vie for ownership of typologies, classifications and conceptualisations of space, place and society. The colloquium will explore these multi-layered and continually-evolving contests over the nature of urbanism.
Proposals offering comparative and/or thematic analysis are welcome, as are case studies in the representation of individual cities where such an approach illuminates wider themes. In order to maintain cohesion, all papers should deal with an extended period of past time, and should not focus exclusively on current urban studies.
The colloquium is hosted by the Liverpool in Print Project (Professor John Belchem, Director). That project is a collaboration between the University of Liverpool and Liverpool Record Office, and is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
We aim to produce a collection of essays based on the colloquium, and the timetable has been constructed accordingly:
Deadline for proposals: 30 November 2007 (decisions announced January 2008)
Draft papers due for circulation to all contributors: 1 August 2008
Colloquium: 19/20 September 2008
Final revised papers due: 31 January 2009
Those proposing papers should be willing to meet these deadlines, thus working toward publication in 2009. Papers should not have been published elsewhere. Final editorial decisions will be taken after the colloquium, in consultation with external referees.
The organisers are seeking sponsorship, but contributors should be prepared to meet their own travel and accommodation costs in case we are unsuccessful.
Proposals, consisting of a 1 page abstract and a 1 page CV, should be emailed to G.J.Milne@liv.ac.uk by 30 November 2007.

CFP - AAG Boston: Critical Geographies of Education
Call for Papers, AAG Boston 2008
Critical Geographies of Education
Co-Organizers: Ranu Basu (ranubasu@yorku.ca) and Suzanna Klaf
(klaf.1@osu.edu)
School spaces are imbued with multiple purposes and meanings. Aside from its
educational mandate, schools are also places for neighborhood
integration, social
capital formation, and the fostering of civil society. In recent
years publicly
funded schools have faced a number of diverse challenges linked more
broadly to
the neoliberalization of education reform and parallel discourses constructed
along the politics of fear and difference. Landscapes of disparities have
evolved at various scales creating new spaces, subjectivities and
power relations
within communities and schools.
We are seeking papers that critically examine the geographies of education in
multiple contexts and that utilize multiple methods to do so. This session is
intended to highlight contemporary issues in this under-researched area. We
welcome participants exploring topics regarding the politics of
education reform;
the provision of education in neoliberal contexts; the spatial implications of
contemporary education policy; impacts of governance on spaces of education;
contesting representations of education space and identities; among others.
Please send a notice of interest or intent to Suzanna Klaf by October 24. After
registering and submitting your abstract to the AAG, please send along your
registration number.
Feel free to contact us with any questions.

Call for Papers: Gender & wellbeing
Dear All
I am forwarding a message from the organising committee of the fifth
symposium of COST Action 34: Gender and wellbeing: work, family and public
policies.
I have removed the attachments which accompanied the original message.
However, if you would like to view the call for papers, please do so by
visiting the GWB website at http://www.ub.es/tig/GWBNet/index.htm.
With best wishes, Bernard.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the Fifth Symposium of the Action:
Social Movements and Well-Being (Amsterdam, 5th -7th March 2009), we are
delighted to inform you that the call for papers -you will find it attached-
has been opened.
We should be very grateful if you would circulate this call for papers
amongst the members of your national group and other experts you consider
they could be interested in participating in this Fifth Symposium.
In order to ensure a coherent programme of papers, we would like to ask
already everyone who wishes to take part to prepare a short abstract (400
words) containing the title of his/her paper and a summary of its main aims
and objectives. It is essential that we receive your title and abstract by
8th January, 2008.
The Organizing Committee will have to make a choice of papers as we would
like to work in plenary sessions to facilitate interdisciplinary and
international discussion. In the selection of papers, we will particularly
consider discussions addressing the issues within a national and perhaps
international context. Finally, we will give equal representation to
participating states to the symposium as the COST policies require.
Selection of abstracts will be communicated to authors in March 2008. Paper
givers should send their papers no later than 30th January, 2009.
Funds for this symposium are limited and, while we are hopeful of being able
to meet the travel and accommodation costs of as many participants as
possible, we may not be able to do this in all cases. It would therefore be
very helpful if you could provide an estimate of your likely travel costs,
together with an indication of any additional resources on which you may be
able to call. We will construct our own estimate of accommodation costs
based on standard COST allowances.
When submitting an abstract, please enter the text into the attached form
(ProposalForm.doc) and rename the document so that it can be easily
identified by the name or names of the author or authors (so, for example,
Antonella Picchio's abstract can be identified as
picchio-abstract5thsymposium.doc (or txt, or pdf)).
Please send your abstract by e-mail to:
Marcel van der Linden: mvl@iisg.nl
With copy to the secretariat: costactiona34@ub.edu

CFP - AAG 2008 - EXPERIENCING URBAN AESTHETICS
| Please forward widely, apologies for cross-posting - Call for papers: Annual AAG meeting in Boston, Massachusetts April 15-19, 2008 I - Theorizing encounters in designed urban spaces II - Methods for researching experiences in designed urban spaces Organizers: Gillian Rose (Open University), Monica Degen (Brunel University) Chair: Begum Basdas (Open University) An increased preoccupation with the visual impact of places has led to an explicit focus on and use of urban design in the redevelopment of urban centres. The intention of aesthetic intervention into urban space is to alter the experience of that space. Debates on this aesthetization of the urban environment have tended to portray those using these spaces as passively responding to urban design stimuli. However, there is clearly a diversity of fluid and overlapping practices and experiences involved when people interact with the materiality of the city. In the daily uses of these designed environments, people may engage, ignore, resist or subvert them. In this session we are interested in thinking through the diversity of embodied visual and sensuous encounters we have with the built environment. In particular we invite papers that either theorize the complex and diverse engagements that people have in designed spaces or papers that develop methods for researching how we experience the city. Expressions of interest and/or abstracts (250 words of less) should be sent by October 22nd to Gillian Rose: g.rose@open.ac.uk or Monica Degen: monica.degen@brunel.ac.uk. |

Regeneration of Bath
Go through Bath on the train at the moment and you will see a building site where there was once a chunk of the city. Given the recent local political furore over the Bath Spa and talk of the city losing its World Heritage Statue, recent articles in the Observer make interesting reading...
Is Bath Britain's most backward city?
