CAPPE evening seminar series 2014/15: Discrimination in Everyday Life
08 Oct 2014
Following on from the successful 2013/14 series on Neoliberalism, CAPPE turns its focus to the theme of discrimination, and its various manifestations in everyday life. The speakers in the series come from across both the British and the international academy, activism, politics, filmmaking and journalism. The various lectures will: interrogate the theme of discrimination; highlight its various manifestations; outline the trajectories of specific forms of discrimination; and propose suggestions to alleviate the proliferation of discriminations that are appearing in our contemporary neoliberal societies.
