NAASN5 Call for Abstracts, Papers...
Registration is still open, and we are accepting abstracts, exhibit
proposals, (or even full papers or complete individual panel
proposals) for the 5th Annual North American Anarchist Studies
Network (NAASN) Conference:
January 16-18, 2014 at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Surrey, BC.
*Please send in your abstracts now... http://naasn2014.org *
Over the past two decades, there's been a growing interest, both inside and outside the academy, in research done on anarchism (or by anarchists), and we have seen a resurgence in related multidisplinary reading, study and theory.
It is hoped that this conference will build upon the work of the four successful previous NAASN conferences; first, as a wonderful opportunity for head-to-head gathering, with lively discussion and comradely debate, and then at conclusion, will leave an open archive of all published papers & presentations intended to stand as a positive contribution to the further flourishing of anarchist ideas and action.
SUBMISSION/PARTICIPATION:
►► PUBLISHING/PERFORMANCE...

organizing and action in the BC state context. From the intense IWW
struggles in timber and mining through the Yippie riots of the 1960s,
intentional communities and free schools, to the ongoing struggles
against pipelines and fracking and campaigns in defense of migrants today,
anarchism has taken diverse forms reflecting specific communities and
circumstances. More recently recognition by anarchists has grown of the
complementarity between indigenous community governance and anarchist
perspectives.
Current struggles pose challenges of settler anarchists defending
migrants and opposing borders or contesting oil and gas extraction on unceded
indigenous territories, in a context of longstanding indigenous resistance.
