Urban MultipliCITIES: Conference, London, 6-7 November 2008, RGS-IBG UGRG
Urban MultipliCITIES
A two-day conference and open discussion
organised by the RGS-IBG Urban Geography Research Group
Preliminary Call for Contributions
Dates: 6-7 November 2008
Location: Queen Mary University of London
Building on two earlier conferences, Paradigmatic Cities and Approaching the
City, this year's UGRG conference aims to examine the multiplicities of 'the
urban'. Rather than the unitary object implied by the terms 'the urban' or
'the city', multiple urbanisms are currently being called forth by research
that, for instance: challenges conventional representations and hierarchies
of cities; 'parochialises' cities of 'the North'; develops research into
'ordinary cities'; uncovers/explores diverse ways of inhabiting urban space;
re-examines urban histories; or employs inventive methods of investigating
urban experiences.
Urban MultipliCITIES aims to bring some of these proliferating fields into
creative contact, and we are seeking contributions from a wide range of
urban research that reflect the rich variety of work being undertaken in the
field. Topics and methodologies might include (but are in no way restricted
to):
§ gender and sexuality
§ methods: e.g. visual, aural, tactile, oral, performative,
participatory.
§ non-'Western' urban experiences
§ poetics and politics of urban imaginaries
§ post-coloniality
§ regeneration projects and everyday life
§ socio-technical materialities
§ suburban studies
§ practice, activism and politics
Over two days, the conference will take the form of keynote presentations,
shorter papers, and include a poster session by postgraduate students. We
hope to leave plenty of time for discussion, stimulated by papers that
engage with Urban Multiplicities - in research, methods or practice. Papers
are welcomed from researchers (including PhDs) at any stage of their
careers, but the Poster Session is specifically designed for postgraduates.
If you would like to contribute a PAPER or a POSTER, contact
Margo Huxley: M.Huxley@sheffield.ac.uk
or
Richard Smith: R.G.Smith@swansea.ac.uk
Deadline for 250 word Abstracts is Friday 19 September 2008

Conference - Capital, Culture, Power: Criminalisation and Resistance, Liverpool, 2-4 July 2008
British-Irish Section of the European Group
for the Study of Deviance and Social Control
Capital, Culture, Power: Criminalisation and Resistance
2-4 July, 2008, Liverpool
Hosted by the University of Liverpool & Liverpool John Moores University
Call for Papers
2008 marks Liverpool's celebration of its status as European Capital of Culture. In preparation, Liverpool has been undergoing a physical and cultural regeneration that has in many ways transformed the city as private capital and expertise has poured in. The transformation of the local state into a growth machine has been accompanied by shifts in crime control and community safety, spatial regulation, forms of policing and discourses of urban belonging.
Like in other cities, there are significant undersides to urban regeneration and the culture it seeks to impose - undersides which rarely figure in official and academic discourse. Much of Liverpool and its surrounding areas remain scarred by poverty, under-employment, and racism. At the same time, whilst the marginalised are subjected to criminalisation, the social and criminal justice supports for the victims of the crimes and harms of the powerful either remain virtually non-existent or under threat. We wish to critically explore the extent and direction of change in our cities and how these are re-framing practices of power, justice and the right to the city.
Please submit abstracts of 100-200 words by Thursday May 1st 2008 to any of the following, These people can also be contacted for further details:
Roy Coleman roy.coleman@ liverpool.ac.uk
Lynn Hancock l.hancock@liverpool.ac.uk
