DESCRIPTION:"Place-based politics is often held in suspicion. Yet some of 
 the most radical challenges to neoliberalism (Latin America\, Syriza\, Pod
 emos) are place-based. What can geography bring to an analysis of this?"\n
 \nDoreen Massey has engaged with Marxist geography\, feminist geography\, 
 and cultural geography. She is currently working on threads of place\, pol
 itics\, and geographical differentiation. She has engaged with a critique 
 of current forms of globalisation\, issues of regional uneven development\
 , and of the city. In all of this the aim has been to work between\, and t
 o show the relationship between\, philosophical and conceptual issues on t
 he one hand and the directly political on the other. The aim of her recent
  work is to demonstrate the importance to both everyday life and wider pol
 itics of how we conceptualise both space and place.\n\nThis promises to be
  one of the best talks yet (Doreen is basically a celebrity in Geography)!
  This is also the last Speakers Event of this academic year!\n\nFree for C
 UGS members\n£2 for non-members\n\n
