The 2nd Journal of Class and Culture Conference

This is a free event

Join us for this collaboration between The University of Hertfordshire and Liverpool John Moores for the second Journal of Class & Culture conference . From its first issue the journal has been a provocative theoretical and empirical intervention into debates concerning class and culture. We reject and challenge the rendering of class as an archaic concept and engage with class as a dynamic category actively shaped by the changing demands of capitalism.

The conference aims to bring together working-class academics, practitioners, and researchers from across a range of educational and public sector settings. It is open to all, specifically those who are interested in themes including education, media, sociology, criminology, psychology, community development and public health. By approaching the question of class from both historical and contemporary perspectives as an engagement with the everyday and addressing subjects and events which might appear insignificant or disconnected - but when viewed through the lens of class become important – reveals much about the societies in which we live. We welcome anyone, especially those with lived experience of the conference themes, individuals or groups who want to get more informed on issues related to class and culture and those who are keen to envision a positive future for the working-class.

It is also an opportunity to meet the editors and discuss ideas for contributions to the journal and ways to take the journal forward.

Intellect will also be there and they are keen to commission book proposals if any are forthcoming.

Lunch will be provided
