Remembering Colin Ward at Housmans, December 7
The latest issue of Anarchist Studies (‘Anarchist Studies, Vol,19, No 2, 2011) is being launched on 7th December 2011 at Housmans, to celebrate the life and work of Colin Ward. Ward was one of the best known anarchist writers of his generation and his work on children and play, urban architecture and plotlands, squatting and criminology, water resources and public transportation – to name a few pursuits – broadened his appeal to a wide range of architects, historians social scientists and activists – as well as anarchists. Ward was the editor of ‘Anarchy’ (1961-1970) , perhaps the best English language anarchist revue.
Come along to the launch to celebrate Ward’s achievements. Carl Levy and Ruth Kinna will discuss Ward’s legacy in our era, when anarchist modes of organisation and themes are growing in popularity.
