Anarchism Research Group Loughborough
The ARG aims to:
provide an informal space for the discussion, exploration and analysis of anarchist ideas and practices;
support anarchism research across scholarly disciplines in the University;
help raise the profile of anarchist studies through scholarship and public engagement;
co-ordinate with external networks to promote international collaborative work and anarchism research at Loughborough University;
organise seminars for postgraduate researchers working on aspects of anarchist history and politics.
The ARG was established in 2008. It contributes to the social, political and cultural theory strand of the Communication and Culture Beacon at Loughborough University and is networked internationally through the Anarchist Studies Network (a specialist group of the UK Political Studies Association). The group also collaborates with the Politicised Practice Research Group in the Critical Citizenship, Activism and Art initiative.
Our seminars are free and open to all.
