Spatial-Historical Waypoints in the Possible: Generating sociological knowledge through walking between Manchester’s 44 post offices… whilst thinking utopian thoughts

Description

I was a presenter on the session titled: Real Spaces/Intentional Communities.

I delivered a presentation discussing the means by which I connected sociological fieldwork (participant observation and walking interviews) to utopian philosophy (Bloch, Benjamin and Marcuse) when investigating 'ecologies of possibility' around Manchester's post offices in Summer/Autumn 2021.

I also chaired a session at this conference.
