Summer School: Gregynog Ideas Lab

Gregynog (UK), 9-14 July 2012

The inaugural Gregynog Ideas Lab, a Summer School in PostInternational Politics, will take place 9-14 July, 2012. The Summer School will provide a unique opportunity for graduate students and academics to return to key texts and thinkers from critical, postcolonial, feminist, post-structural and psychoanalytic traditions, to re-examine their work and how it has been employed in international politics, and to ask whether the radical potential of this work is in danger of being lost.

A series of lectures and seminars by guest professors who are key figures in the field will be combined with discussion groups-formal and informal-based on assigned pre-readings. Held in the unique surroundings of Gregynog Hall, the Summer School offers a week of intensive immersion in this thought for those new to the field or isolated in their own institutions in a supportive and friendly residential environment.

Our guest professors will be:

o       Richard K Ashley
o       Diana Coole
o       Jenny Edkins
o       Naeem Inayatullah
o       Louiza Odysseos (tbc)
o       Mustapha Pasha
o       Michael J Shapiro
o       Maria Stern
o       R.B.J. Walker
o       Marysia Zalewski
o       Maja Zehfuss
