Dr David Bates was in Manchester last month for the Political Studies Marxism Specialist Group, where he co-organised three sessions on Professor Norman Geras\u2019 contribution to Marxism. He also presented a paper on Geras\u2019 contribution to the idea of self-emancipation in Marxism.<\/p>\n

Dr Sarah Lieberman was also busy, attending the 1st<\/sup> European Conference on Teaching and Learning Politics, International Relations and European Studies<\/a>, in Maastricht, and giving a paper at the UACES Conference in Cork on the regulation of food by the EU and supermarkets<\/a>. In addition to Sarah, Dr Andre Barrinha (European cybersecurity<\/a>), Dr Soeren Keil (Politics in the Balkans<\/a>) and our new Jean Monnet Professor, Dr Amelia Hadfield (European foreign policy<\/a>\u00a0and EU education policy) all presented papers at this conference.<\/p>\n

For Amelia, this was a particularly eventful\u00a0summer. In July she gave a Keynote speaker at the Chancellor\u2019s Colloquium, celebrating the 225th<\/sup> Anniversary of her alma mater, University of King\u2019s College, Canada\u2019s oldest seat of learning.<\/p>\n

As well as doing some consultancy on energy security for various European think tanks, most of her summer was taken up with REIF-funded research on the wide-ranging topic of sovereignty, carving out the Energy & Governance group<\/a>, and putting together the various Jean Monnet Chair activities, commencing in and throughout autumn 2014.<\/p>\n

Andre was involved in two other research events during the summer. He set up, together with Helena Carrapico<\/a> from Aston University, a workshop in Lisbon on European Cybersecurity<\/a>, sponsored by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation and he presented a paper on neoliberalism and cyberterrorism at the BISA Critical Studies on Terrorism Conference<\/a> in Nottingham.<\/p>\n

During this period he was also involved in the publication of a Research Paper<\/a> for the Norwegian Peacebuilding Resource Centre on Emerging Powers, and of a\u00a0book chapter (“Dealing with Risk: Precision Strikes and Interventionism in the Obama Administration”) for the edited volume Precision Strike Warfare and International Intervention<\/a>, published by Routledge.<\/p>\n

In addition to the UACES conference, Soeren participated in the IPSA World Congress, presenting a paper on Citizenship education in Bosnia and Herzegovina<\/a>, as part of a panel on Citizenship education in new and old federations he organised together with Prof Guy Laforest<\/a> (Universit\u00e9 Laval).<\/p>\n

Finally, Dr Mark Bennister and Dr Laura Cashman were active in the ECPR general conference that took place in Glasgow in early September. Mark presented a co-authored paper on prime ministerial accountability to parliament<\/a> and Laura presented a paper co-authored with Dr John FitzGibbon on populism and anti-romani sentiment in Europe<\/a>. A revised version of this paper was also presented at the\u00a0British Psychological Society \u2013 Social Psychology Section annual conference on 11 September here at Canterbury Christ Church University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
