Subject: CALL FOR PAPERS. 'Contentions against neoliberalism: Reconstituting the social fabric in the developing world'

Hi again Chambi,

 

I'm writing to you again because we have not received many abstracts on Africa. We really want to have a regional balance at the conference because our aim is to produce a special issue on the topic (we will try Politics & Society or Mobilization). I would really want to include a paper that focuses on South Africa for example.

 

We are extending the deadline for submission of abstracts. Also, if the person cannot travel to Oxford, we might consider the possibility of a skype presentation.

 

All the best,

 

Sofia

Dear Chambi,

 

Raufu Mustapha gave me your email address. I am organising a conference on anti-neoliberal contention in the developing world that might be of your interest. Please could you also forward this email and the attached Call for Papers to your postgraduate community.

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Best wishes,

 

Sofia
