CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT

Every year since 1995, Manchester Metropolitan  University has hosted
a very successful international conference on `ALTERNATIVE  FUTURES
and POPULAR PROTEST'. A fifth conference will be held on 29 - 31 March
1999.

The aim of the Conference is to explore the dynamics of popular
movements, along with the ideas which animate their leaders and
supporters and which contribute to shaping their fate.

CALL FOR PAPERS

We invite offers of papers from sociologists, political scientists,
historians and others, addressing the conference themes and their
theorisation.

Papers should address such matters as:

. contemporary historical social movements and popular protests
. social movement theory
. utopias and experiments
. ideologies of collective action
. etc.

Those interested in offering papers should contact either of the
conference convenors with a brief abstract:

Colin Barker, Department of Sociology
Mike Tyldesley, Department of Politics and Philosophy

Both may be reached at:
Manchester Metropolitan University
Geoffrey Manton Building,
Rosamond Street West
Manchester M15 6LL, England
Tel: C. Barker on 0161 247 3439, M. Tyldesley on 0161 247 3460
email: c.barker@xxxxxxxxx or m.tyldesley@xxxxxxxxx
Fax: 0161 247 6321 (+44 161 247 6321)

Those giving papers are asked to supply them in advance, for inclusion
in a volume of `Proceedings' (with an ISBN reference), which will be
available from the conference opening.

. Word limits for papers: 6,000 words, including notes
. Two single-spaced typed copies should be provided, on A4 or US
Letter paper, with one inch margins, and with a copy of the text on a
DOS disk in either ASCII or MS Word format. (if in doubt, please
contact one of the convenors in advance.)
 . Final date for receipt ofagreed papers: 1 March 1999
 . Participants whose papers are not supplied by the final date will
be asked to bring 50 copies to the Conference for distribution.
Advance submission is much preferred, since the bound volumes of
Proceedings will be sent to the British Library but loose papers will
be excluded.

The conference convenors will approach publishers to explore the
possibility of publishing a selection of the conference papers.

A selection from the 1995 conference appeared in early 1996 as:
To Make Another World: Studies in Protest & Collective Action
Colin Barker & Paul Kennedy(eds.), Avebury, 1996 ISBN 1.85972.326.8

Negotiations with publishers are actively  underway for two further
volumes.

A few copies of the 1997 and 1998 Proceedings (two vols., stlg25.00
the set, post free) may be obtained from the Conference Officer.
Copies of the bound volumes of papers from 1995 and 1996 are now sold
