This event is a part of a lecture series run at Oxford Brookes University by research students called Contemporary Ideology Forum. The purpose of the series is to provide an arena for discussion of a variety of contemporary issues ranging from environmentalism to nationalism. In past years our speakers have included Dr. Caroline Lucas (MEP), Peter Tatchell and George Galloway. After our speakers present we tend to open the floor to questions and hopefully further debate and reflection on issues covered by the speaker. This year our overarching theme to our sessions is communication, and we have titled this 'Brainwashing: communication, miscommunication and propaganda.' All sessions are held in the Research Centre of the university, room no. SG03. All sessions begin at 6.00pm on Thursday evenings and all sessions are free and open to the public. We are also open to anyone who wishes to present in the future. We ask that if anybody has an idea that they submit a short abstract to one of us, our email addresses are available on the CIF website.
