[ssf] Knowledge Lab Lancaster + Lancaster Autonomous University

[Alan Dawson]

"The Knowledge Lab on Globalisation from Above and Below, located at Lancaster
University in North West England and funded by the Institute for Advanced
Studies, brings together activists and academics to discuss aspects of the
capitalist economy driving globalisation from above - such as enclosures,
precarious labour, structural violence, colonialism, and their justifying
cultural imagery – and to make visible alternative architectures emerging
through processes of globalisation from below, i.e. through grassroots
movements cooperating to create a world based on human rights and mutual aid.
The Knowledge Laboratory is an anticapitalist initiative."
