Report from the Anarchist Studies Network (formerly Specialist Group for the Study of Anarchism SGSA)

The UK Political Studies Association (PSA) Specialist Group for the study of anarchism (SGSA) has recently been renamed the Anarchist Studies Network (ASN). We thought we would take this opportunity to inform the broader anarchist academic community of our activities, the nature of the group and plans for the future.

See Le Courrier: un quotidien suisse d'information et d'opinion for an interesting article on our last meeting, written by Frédéric Deshusses, representing the Collège du Travail, Genève

Warm greetings

The ITH, the Austrian organization which since 1965 organizes annual labour-history conferences in the city of Linz, will change its course quite fundamentally. Originally founded as a neutral meeting place for labour historians from East and West during the Cold War, the collapse of East-European state socialism plunged [?] the ITH into a severe identity crisis. After years of debates and experiments the General Assembly now unanimously decided to implement a new approach. The essence of the organization's new profile was summarized in the following points:

Sephis (South-South Exchange Programme for Research on the History of Development) posted the latest issue of their e-magazine at [url]http://www.sephis.org/pdf/ezine7.pdf[/url]

Since 1994 Sephis activities have facilitated exchanges through conferences, fellowships and lecture tours. We have now embarked on a new initiative, which offers an opportunity for regular dialogue and wider participation. At present there appears to be no magazine dedicated to south-south exchange either in hardcopy or on the www.
