The participatory action research programme in social movement practice at NUI Maynooth Sociology is organising a fortnightly workshop series this year which some listmembers may be interested in. This will mostly be a writers' / presenters' workshop, with one participant either circulating a written piece of work or giving a presentation and others commenting on the form / delivery as well as the content of the work, but we will have workshops on other themes, including visiting speakers.
The first three workshops will be on Wednesdays from 2 - 4 in NUI Maynooth's Auxilia building (http://www.nuim.ie/location/maps/north.shtml for directions), with the first three sessions being October 21st, November 4th and November 18th. The opening workshop will be given by Laurence Cox on "Marxism and social movements", using a range of material from an international edited collection in the area.
All welcome.
