The Centre for the Study of Social and Global Justice was created this year to provide a space for thought and reflection on the nature of justice in the contemporary world. As regular readers of Indymedia will know we have hosted a variety of events this year, including seminars with well known activists such as Michael Albert and Andy Dobson and workshops on a variety of issues such as Ethical Internationalism in HE.

To mark the opening of the Centre we are delighted to host to Prof David Harvey, one of the best known critical theorists in the world and author of works such as The Limits of Capital; the Condition of Postmodernity and Spaces of Hope. More details on Harvey can be found here:
