i believe i was at your founding meeting at london anarchist book fair. But it was a long time ago and i could be wrong

profalexp.bsky.social•111 days ago

Ooo! I think that was for the anarchist academics network. I was at that meeting too. The ASN came about later that year and was more institutionalised/funded than AA (AA is still going BTW)

Starter pack?

Working on adding more

Founding members then set up the Contemporary Anarchist Studies monograph series, now published by Manchester University Press.

This is an excellent series, but I’m biased

None of this would have been possible without Ruth Kinna’s leadership and support of a generation of PhD students and early career researchers at Loughborough, myself included. Loughborough hosts unquestionably the largest and most significant cluster of anarchist research anywhere.

📌 What are good PhD options if I want to pursue anarchist studies in the UK? Are there other options outside Loughborough and Uni of Exeter?

Cambridge for religious anarchism

profalexp.bsky.social•109 days ago

Hiya. There are lots of options at lots of good universities, but the main issue is getting funding… IMO, you need to find someone you really want to work with, whose research you respect, and contact them directly. There is no substitute for a good relationship with your PhD supervisor. 🤞🏻

I'll keep that in mind then, thanks!

Don’t forget about the Anarchist Studies journal, which has been going since the late 1980s

It’s a great resource, and somewhere to consider placing your next publication on anarchism!?

And finally, don’t forget about the Anarchist Studies blog, a venue for shorter conversation starters and reflections.
