'The Antinuclear Movement in Perspective' - Martin Shaw in conversation with Sasha Roseneil
As nuclear weapons rise up the international agenda, Martin Shaw will be talking about his new book The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (Agenda Publishing), the first academic study of the movement in Britain to be published this century, with Sasha Roseneil, author of Disarming Patriarchy: Feminism and Political Action at Greenham (Open University Press, 1995), and Common Women, Uncommon Practices: the Queer Feminisms of Greenham (Cassell/Bloomsbury, 2000).
The movement against nuclear weapons was the first postwar mass protest movement in Britain and the discussion will include the roles of social movements and the intersections between them as well as the current politics of nuclear weapons. In addition to their academic research, both speakers were participants in the 1980s peace movement, Martin in European Nuclear Disarmament and CND and Sasha in the Greenham Common women's peace camp.
Martin Shaw is Emeritus Professor of International Relations and Politics and Sasha Roseneil is Vice-Chancellor at the University of Sussex.
The book launch takes place at 5pm in the Fulton A Lecture Theatre.
