Better Questions Seminar Series presents
'Community Development: Lessons for Social Movements'

Seomra Spraoí, 10 Belevedere Court (off Gardiner Street, Dublin 1)

Mick O'Broin, researcher and activist, will draw on conversations with
community activists to look at the political possibilities opened up by
Community Development, focusing on questions of political
subjectivity, biopolitics and movement institutions.

Laurence Cox has been an activist for over 25 years. He works with
activists studying their own movements and co-edits the Interface
journal dedicated to "learning from each other's struggles".
His contribution will look at what newer anti-capitalist
movements might have to learn from community organising, and what
community organising might have to learn from anti-capitalism.
