Georgia Workshop on Culture, Power, and History

The challenge of modernity is to live without illusions and without becoming disillusioned-- Antonio Gramsci

The Culture, Power, and History Website is organized by Erin Winter (erinwin@uga.edu), Becca Hanson (beccara@uga.edu) , and David Smilde (dsmilde@uga.edu)

Its objectives are to provide a discursive place for social science research that:

*sees meaning and meaning creation (Culture) as central to the way humans create social structure
*regards structural inequality (Power) as a central aspect of the social world
*focuses on concrete actors and structures as they develop through time (History)
*opens up the process of knowledge creation by focusing on work-in-progress
*builds interdisciplinary links and foments communication among interested researchers

More on the workshop:

Our focus is on building a knowledge base by expanding, not reducing, interaction. Therefore, the only requirement for participation is enthusiasm

The workshop meets on Fridays in Baldwin Hall, Room 114A, from 3:30-5
The paper to be presented will be available for download on this web page at least a week in advance. Workshop discussions will begin with a 5-10 minute introduction by the author and the rest of the time is devoted to open discussion.
