ANARCHISTS ORGANISE PISS-UP IN BREWERY (01/08/08)
To celebrate the second birthday of the establishment of ASN in November 2007, members organised a tour of Nottingham's Castle Rock Brewery. Hangovers contributed to it taking this long to post up the announcement.
I graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2005 where my PhD research developed an anarchist critique of sexual orientation as the continuous effect of everyday state-like relationships of representation. I'm particularly interested in what queer, feminist, poststructuralist and anarchist traditions have to offer in terms of empowering resistance to everyday relationships of domination.
Along with Richard Cleminson at the University of Leeds, I co-organised a conference on Anarchism & Sexuality in November (2006) -- http://anarchist-studies.org.uk/conference/
