Neoliberalism Seminar Series 2013/14
The Centre for Applied Philosophy, Politics and Ethics (CAPPE) at the University of Brighton is launching a new series of fortnightly semianars that will deal with the question of what it means to live in a neoliberal world. Everybody is welcome to those seminards and no registration is required. You can see the rest of the details below. We hope to see all you there.
Centre for Applied Philosophy, Politics and Ethics (CAPPE)
Organised by the Centre for Applied Philosophy, Politics & Ethics, University of Brighton, this fortnightly seminar series aims to explore what it means to live in a neoliberal world. There is no need to register; entry will be permitted on a “first come first served” basis. The series begins on 15 October and takes place, for the most part, every other Tuesday, at 6.30pm. The first three sessions (15/10, 29/10, 12/11) will be held in The Old Courtroom, Brighton, which holds up to 165 people.
Sessions are scheduled to last for 90 minutes (45 min. presentation, 45 min. discussion). Please find below a provisional schedule. Individual sessions will be announced a week before they are presented. It is possible that two of the eleven sessions, the ones with Doreen Massey and Madsen Pirie, will begin one hour earlier, at 5.30pm rather than 6.30pm; this will be clarified one week before the sessions take place, respectively.
