Furtherfield in partnership with the antiuniversity and Radical Think Tank are proud to present this new 6-part course.

Aimed at people with an interest in radical social change, the course will apply concepts from complex systems theory to understanding (and creating) revolutions and social movements. 
The course is directed at a general rather than academic audience, although a desire for radical social change will be assumed.

Sessions will involves a mix of speaker presentation and participatory discussions/activities, covering subjects such as ecology, network theory and new materialist philosophy. 

Other familiar concepts will be re-examined through this framework, including the commons, chaos, structural oppression and reform. 

The ultimate goal is for this knowledge to be put into practice to create more effective activism, to contribute to better understanding the workings of contemporary society and to help inspire projects for building future utopian alternatives.
