19 June 2015, University of West London
This one day symposium will consider the international flow and local configuration of subcultural styles, fashions and identities. Focusing on the development of local, trans-local and global subcultural scenes, the symposium will discuss the ways in which circulation, space and place work to create, shape and limit the nature of subcultural expression. Particular attention will be afforded to the worldwide processes of subcultural transmission and exchange, and their relation to issues of age, ethnicity, gender, class and sexuality.
Speakers confirmed include Prof. Hilary Pilkington (University of Manchester) and Prof. Carol Tulloch (University of the Arts, London). The symposium is funded by the AHRC and is organised by the Subcultures Network, The University of West London, and London Metropolitan University. For more information please click here
