Connecting People, Participation and Place: An international conference of participatory geographies
January 14-15, 2008
Durham University, United Kingdom
Participatory approaches to research, learning, action and change have in some ways become a new orthodoxy in social and environmental science disciplines, voluntary sectors, statutory agencies and community-led organizations across the world. The development of conceptual insights, creative techniques and radical practices is exploding. At the same time participatory approaches are highly contested and debated, and are profoundly affected by the environments, social settings and institutional webs in which they are embedded. This conference will showcase original and collaboratively produced contributions to theory, practice and social/environmental change which focus on the relations between people and places.
Please send OFFERS OF PARTICIPATION, with an abstract or summary of ideas/plans, by 31st August 2007 to rachel.pain@durham.ac.uk
