Cosmopolitan Strangers at Europe’s Invisible Borders: Arguments for a Multidisciplinary Political Sociology
Inaugural Lecture by Professor Chris Rumford
Professor of Political Sociology & Global Politics, Royal Holloway, University of London
Date: Tuesday 8 February 2011, 6.15pm
Venue: Windsor Building Auditorium
BFI Southbank – NFT1 - 17.20 – 20 November 2010 – film & panel discussion on Patrick Keiller’s film Robinson in Ruins
Patrick Keiller’s film Robinson in Ruins, released on 19 November, is one of several outcomes of a three-year, AHRC-funded research collaboration between Keiller, Doreen Massey, Patrick Wright and Matthew Flintham.
Following a screening of the film, the co-researchers will present their project as a political intervention. Through its study of a landscape, the project challenges commonly-held assumptions about the current economic and ecological crises: about market forces, commodification, and the terms of belonging in an age supposedly characterised by mobility and displacement.
During 2009-2011, the Rutgers node has organized an extensive university-wide series of nearly two hundred lectures, colloquia, panel discussions, and other events exploring the theme of “Ecologies in the Balance.” For the current academic year 2010-2011, they have designated eight specific events to inaugurate the Spaces of Democracy initiative at Rutgers.

Children and Cities
Ken Worpole
1st February 2010, 5.30pm, Beehive, Room 2.21. Newcastle University
After the Second World War, architects, planners and politicians across Europe privileged the role of the child in the city. Yet today one or more children on the street is considered a social problem in the making. How did we get to this impasse and how can we get out of it?
A writer and environmentalist, Ken Worpole is one of Britain’s most influential writers on architecture, landscape and public policy issues. He has an Honorary Doctorate from Middlesex University, and is a Senior Professor at The Cities Institute, London Metropolitan University. He has served on the UK government Urban Green Spaces Task Force, and has been an adviser to the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) and the Heritage Lottery Fund (See http://www.worpole.net/ )
“For many years, Ken Worpole has been one of the shrewdest and sharpest observers of the English social landscape” (The Independent).
Ken will be giving a version of his contribution to the book What is Radical Politics Today? Edited by Jonathan Pugh of Newcastle University, and published in November 2009 by Palgrave-Macmillan.
On 15 January 2010, the Centre of the Study of Democracy (CSD) at the University of Westminster, London, will host its annual "CSD Encounter", a one-day open event at which the work of a leading scholar in the fields of political theory, international relations or cultural studies is presented and discussed in his or her presence. The CSD Encounter includes workshop sessions followed by a public lecture in the evening.
This time the Encounter will be with political philosopher Charles Taylor. The event will start with two panels on Charles Taylor´s contribution to political theory followed by a public lecture given by Charles Taylor himself.

Speakers:
Doreen Massey, Saskia Sassen and David Chandler.
Book launch of 'What is Radical Politics Today?'
Edited by Jonathan Pugh, Senior Academic Fellow, Newcastle University.
A crisis makes you re-think your life. The recent economic crisis is no exception. All of us are now thinking how the world could be run differently. Despite this, a radical alternative has hardly emerged to mobilise the masses, which begs the question: What is radical politics today? In this book, leading academics, politicians, journalists and activists attempt to pinpoint an answer, debating the issues facing radical politics in the 21st Century. Rarely united in their opinions, they collectively interrogate the character and spirit of being radical in our times.
Including original contributions from Zygmunt Bauman, Frank Furedi, Paul Kingsnorth, James Heartfield, Terrell Carver, Clare Short, Edward W. Soja, David Chandler, Hilary Wainwright, Dora Apel, Michael J. Watts, Jason Toynbee, James Martin, Jeremy Gilbert and Jo Littler, Doreen Massey, Gregor McLennan, Tariq Modood, Nick Cohen, Amir Saeed and David Bates, Alastair Bonnett, Ken Worpole, Sheila Jasanoff, Nigel Thrift, Will Hutton, Saul Newman, Chantal Mouffe, David Featherstone, Alejandro Colas and Jason Edwards, David Boyle, and Saskia Sassen.
Contributions should be no more than 700 words in length. The debate is running from November to January 2010 with over 50 contributors to date from across Europe.
If anyone would like to contribute, can they contact Jonathan Rutherford at jonathan@jrutherford.demon.co.uk and he will send them further information and a deadline.
The Future of Democracy: Prospects and Challenges
Which way forwards for the European Union
Friday, 13 November 2009, 10.30am to 1pm
The Pavilion, University of Westminster
115 Cavendish Street, London W1W 6UW
Thomas Ferenczi (Paris)
Fernand Keuleneer (Brussels)
Kalypso Nicolaidis (Oxford)
Frieder Otto Wolf (Berlin)
The Round-table will be chaired and introduced by Chantal Mouffe (London)
Now that the Irish have finally voted in favour of the ratification of the Lisbon treaty, a decisive step in the consolidation of the European Union might hopefully take place. After years of uncertainty - initiated by the rejection of the Constitutional Treatise by the French and the Dutch - concerning the future of the European institutions, the possibility now exists to envisage the future in a more optimistic way. But a successful future requires fostering among the people of Europe a real allegiance towards the European project. To be sure, with the financial crisis many people began to realize the importance of being in the EU, however its popularity remains at a very low ebb. A few decades ago things were different though, and the European project appeared as expressing the aspirations of many people and as able to awaken their enthusiasm. What has happened to bring about this change? Which mistakes have been made to explain the current disaffection with the EU? Many explanations have been offered which range for the geo-political transformations linked to the end of the Cold War, the resistances against a too rapid process of enlargement, imposed from the top without popular consultation. The criticism most often rehearsed is the lack of legitimacy of the EU due to its democratic deficit. What can be done to reverse this trend? Which model should European unification adopts? How could common forms of identification be established among the citizens of Europe, so as to mobilize their affects around a European vision that does not negates their differences? Those are some of the issues that will be discussed by a panel composed of specialists from various countries and several disciplines.
Geographies of Power
A Lecture on Venezuela by Doreen Massey
Simón Bolívar Hall 54 Grafton Way London WIT 5DL
Tuesday 27th October 2009, 7-30pm - 9.00pm
Venezuela is experimenting with new forms of democracy. It aims to address the balance between the dominant coastal cities and the rest of the country. And it is inventing new structures of participatory democracy to parallel those of the representative democracy of the state. In other words, it has taken seriously the important relation between power and space. And in doing so, it has drawn on a concept of Doreen Massey’s: ‘power geometry’. The fourth motor of the revolution, as set out in 2007, is the need to build ‘una nueva geometría del poder’.
In this talk, Doreen Massey reflects on this relation between geography and power, on the Venezuelan experiment, and on the use of the idea of geometries of power in building a more democratic society.
In co-ordination with the Cultural Section of the Venezuelan Embassy.

Interdisciplinary Workshop on 'Disciplining Dissent'
Verdon Smith Room, Institute for Advanced Studies, Royal Fort House
Call for Registration
Recent years have seen an upsurge of scholarly interest in the activities
and significance of the activist groups and resistance movements which have
come to be associated with 'anti-globalisation' politics. Whilst analyses
of the diverse assemblages, solidarity movements and activist networks
involved in resisting neoliberal globalisation and promoting alternatives
are an important addition to literatures on globalisation and global
politics, there has been a tendency in some of this work to romanticise the
activities and transformative capacities of these groups and networks.
What is often missing from the analysis is consideration of the formal and
informal forms of discipline that operate towards, within and through
resistance movements - be it through coercive repression, through
interventions to co-opt social movements, or through the production of
particular resisting subjects.
We are organising an interdisciplinary workshop at the University of
Bristol on 18-19 September 2009 that will explore the different forms of
discipline and power that operate towards, within and through contemporary
resistance movements. The workshop builds on a panel session at the
British International Studies Association Annual Conference in Exeter in
December 2008 and a collaborative workshop held at the International
Studies Association Annual Convention in New York in February 2009 that
explored these themes. It will bring together scholars from diverse
disciplinary backgrounds who share an interest in the ways in which
contemporary forms of political dissent, such as those represented by
'anti'- or 'alter-globalisation movement(s)', are both disciplined and
disciplining.
Selected papers from the workshop will be published in a special issue of
the journal Globalizations, which will be dedicated to the theme of
Disciplining Dissent.
The workshop fee is £30 (with a discounted rate of £20 for research
students/low incomes) and includes lunch and refreshments on both days.
Registration forms must be returned to Louise Chambers (louise.chambers@bristol.ac.uk) by Wednesday 19th August. Places are strictly limited, and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please contact Lara Coleman (lara.coleman@bristol.ac.uk) and Karen Tucker
(karen.tucker@bristol.ac.uk) if you require any further information.

Las diversas problematizaciones en torno al espacio como red significante negociada políticamente, abren una multiplicidad de consideraciones en torno a las formas de los proyectos democráticos contemporáneos. La redefinición de espacios, territorios, fronteras, en todas las escalas geopolíticas, invita a la discusión de formas y modalidades de acción política ciudadana. Este tipo de reflexiones serán objeto del evento.
NODO MÉXICO
Se trata de un primer evento en el que nos proponemos la contribución de diversas perspectivas disciplinarias y teóricas en torno a los espacios de la democracia y a las democracias del espacio, con miras al enriquecimiento de la mirada y el reconocimiento de las tensiones entre ellas. Este evento consta de dos fases, la primera que será en agosto está compuesta de una conferencia inaugural impartida por Japhy Wilson y de seis mesas; la segunda que será en noviembre consta de una conferencia magistral dictada por Chantal Mouffe y comentada por académicas mexicanas.

Political Lunch Chat: One Day Workshop, The Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA, Systems Seminar Room, Venables Building, Friday 19 June 2009, 10:00-16:00.
The workshop aims to create a space for discussing the public relevance of research. Do we have any responsibilities beyond our research as academics, and if so what are they? What does 'being political' mean for an academic and what does it involve? Does the 'political' speak for itself, or do we need to articulate this politics beyond the academy; and if so, how? Does our work give us a valid platform from which to engage with these issues?
Speakers: Jeremy Gilbert, Nick Dines, Paul Chatterton, Jenny Pickerill, Jon Clarke.
This workshop was co-organised by Uli Beisel, Alex Wafer, Simon Hutta, Clive Gabay and Prof. Doreen Massey, and has been enabled with the generous support of the Open University Department of Geography and the Centre for Citizenship, Identities and Governance:-
