Researching Transition: Bringing together academics and activists
interested in researching the Transition Movement
Supported by: The North East & Manchester Beacons for Public
Engagement
28th November 2011, 10am - 4pm.
Friends Meeting House, 6 Mount Street, Manchester M2 5NS.
As the Transition Movement continues to grow and mature, there is an
increasing interest in
researching its innovations, impacts and potential limitations from a
wide variety of
disciplinary perspectives. Published work explores issues as diverse
as urban regeneration,
green citizenship, spirituality and sustainability, low carbon
economies, social movements,
and sustainable education. This workshop seeks to build on this
momentum by providing an
opportunity for a range of stakeholders to come together, share their
work and explore
potential future directions. Intended participants include academic
researchers, Transition
activists and those involved in other community-led approaches to
sustainability and
economic regeneration. The format of the day will be fairly open, with
a small number of
invited speakers, including members of the Transition Network, as well
as time to identify and
explore cross-cutting themes and to network with other attendees.
There are a number of travel bursaries available for low-income
participants, representatives
of Transition Initiatives and postgraduate researchers. Details of how
to apply can be
requested through the booking form.

Smith, Amanda02
I would have loved to attend this but I teach my final year option on Monday's (Urban Resilience) and there is no one to cover for me.
Do keep me in the loop if anything comes from this.
Kind regards
Amanda
