Conference Theme Imperialism and Resultant Disorder: Imperatives for Social Justice |
|
Between 1997 and 2005, four Critical Geography conferences have accomplished much toward elaborating and refining critical geographies by stimulating constructive debates, collaborative projects, and building connections among critical geographers and other scholars and activists worldwide (see the International Critical Geography Group web site, http://econgeog.misc.hit-u.ac.jp/icgg/). Following these highly successful events, we invite you to join us, the International Critical Geography Group, for the Fifth International Conference of Critical Geography in Mumbai, India, 3-7 December 2007, at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences(TISS). The purpose of the conference is to provide an informal forum for politically critical discussion and debate. We welcome all that are engaged in promoting a critical politics, especially those related to the main conference themes. The format of the conference will be varied and much more akin to workshops, rather than the sort of activities typical of academic meetings. The objective, besides promoting the further development and diffusion of critical geographies, is to avoid a vertical transmission of knowledge and to ensure a more democratic debate and effective progress of ideas. The inaugural keynote address will be delivered by Utsa Patnaik, Centre for Economic Studies and Planning, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi on 3rd December 2007 at 6.00 p.m. on Imperialism and Contemporary Disorder in World Resources and Food Security at TISS, Mumbai Campus. |
