Everyday Life in World Politics and Economics Centre for International Studies, LSE

Date: May 11, 2007
Location: London School of Economics campus, London, UK

The Centre for International Studies at LSE is organising a one-day international workshop aiming to bring together researchers and senior academics that study the role and importance of everyday life in social change.  The workshop aims to examine the role, function and significance of everyday life in world politics and economics. Most theoretical and empirical studies in mainstream social science focus on powerful social actors, official institutions and mechanisms, important policy decisions, milestone meetings/conferences/negotiations/treaties, and critical junctures. In this way, they tend to ignore everyday repetitions, patterns, practices, decisions or non-decisions. Yet, while these matters make no headline news, they define and determine these 'big politics' in a most profound way.

The workshop will take place: at LSE on Friday, May 11.  The deadline for paper proposals was Friday, February 9.
