The First London Anarchist Studies Network London Social - Be There or Be Somehere Else!
Tuesday 2nd March, 7pm - Freedom Bookshop, Whitechapel.
This is an opportunity for Anarchist students, researchers and Anarchist academics living, working or visiting in the capital to meet, talk and socialise. Freedom have even agreed to raise the ceiling to ensure all those pointy heads fit in the building!
Bring a bottle and get yourself down there.
Freedom is at Angel Alley, 84b Whitechapel High Street - nearest tube Aldgate East. For those arriving late, we will at some stage decamp to the nearby White Hart public house for further refreshments.

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.
"Style is a very simple matter; it is all rhythm. Once you get that, you can’t use the wrong words. But on the other hand here am I sitting after half the morning, crammed with ideas, and visions, and so on, and can’t dislodge them, for lack of the right rhythm. Now this is very profound, what rhythm is, and goes far deeper than words. A sight, an emotion, creates this wave in the mind, long before it makes words to fit it. . . .’" -- Virginia Woolf
Game, Ann & Metcalfe, Andrew (1996). Passionate Sociology London: Sage. Opens up discussion of how hierarchies in universities are embodied through teaching and writing and the role of passion in opening up possibilities. Not specifically anarchist.
Grey, Christopher & Sinclair, Amanda (2006). Writing Differently. Organization 13(3): 443–453. A funny and engaging essay written to offer inspiration for writing differently in critical management studies. While not written specifically from anarchist perspectives, it may offer support for anarchist inspired folk wanting to rethink how and why they write.
