Following our recent announcement that Liverpool FC Academy will visit PAIS for a widening participation and outreach visit, we invite you to attend a special lecture.

Entitled ‘Politics and Power in the ‘People’s Game’’, Dr David Webber will deliver the keynote lecture for the LFC ‘Pathways to Higher Education’ visit. You can view the poster for the event here.

Come along and listen to David present his research on the ‘great transformation’ of English football.

Developing the ideas of the economic sociologist, Karl Polanyi, David traces the origins of modern football, and analyses the political, economic and cultural effects that the transformation of the game has had upon different sets of supporters.

David has written a number of academic papers on the cultural political economy of English football, contributed a chapter for a forthcoming book on European football supporters, and has recently appeared in the New Statesman and When Saturday Comes.

David is a lifelong Liverpool FC fan and a member of the Liverpool supporters union, Spirit of Shankly.

The lecture is open to all and will take place on Tuesday 28 April at 7.30pm in R0.21 Ramphal lecture theatre. Tickets are not required.

Hidefumi Nishiyama, a PhD candidate here in PAIS, has recently had a journal article, 'Towards a global genealogy of biopolitics: race, colonialism, and biometrics beyond Europe', published on Environment & Planning D: Society & Space.

The article interrogates Foucault's articulation of modern racism through an examination of the production of racial knowledge during Japanese colonialism.
