Marisol at ESA in Prague

Last month Marisol Sandoval participated in the 12^th annual conference of the European Sociological Association (ESA) in Prague.

Marisol presented her recent work on cultural co-operatives and their potentials to challenge problems of inequality, precariousness an individualisation in cultural sector work. Her presentation was part of a session on Re-inventing Worker Politics organised by the Sociology of Communications and the Media research network (RN18).

RN18 also organised a very successful semi-plenary session where Angela McRobbie and Jim McGuigan discussed the The Legacies of Stuart Hall and Richard Hoggart for the Future of Marxist Studies of Media and Culture.
