SOCIAL MOVEMENTS CONFERENCE:
APOLOGIES FOR EARLIER ERROR + RE-ADVERTISEMENT
A previous announcement of the 7th "Alternative Futures & Popular
Protest" conference contained a serious mistake about dates. The
conference will be held from Tuesday 17th to Thursday 19th April 2001.
A duly amended notice follows. Offers of papers are still welcome.

Between 1995 and 2000 Manchester Metropolitan University has
hosted six very successful international conferences on 'ALTERNATIVE
FUTURES and POPULAR PROTEST'. A seventh conference will be held from
17-19 April 2000.
The aim of the Conference is to explore the dynamics of popular
movements, along with the ideas which animate their leaders and
supporters and which contribute to shaping their fate.
CALL FOR PAPERS
We invite offers of papers from sociologists, political scientists,
historians and others, addressing the conference themes and their
theorisation. Papers should address such matters as:
* contemporary and historical social movements and popular protests
* social movement theory
* utopias and experiments
* ideologies of collective action
* etc.
Those interested in offering papers should contact either of the
conference convenors with a brief abstract:
EITHER Colin Barker, Department of Sociology
OR Mike Tyldesley, Department of Politics and Philosophy
Manchester Metropolitan University
Geoffrey Manton Building, Rosamond Street West
