The Northern Network of Critical Global Scholars is an initiative of the International Politics Research field at the University of Newcastle which is designed to strengthen the community of researchers in the north of the UK who engage in critically informed work with a global dimension. In bringing a community together, we do not intend to police boundaries or to develop a template of what ‘critical’ necessarily means. Our goal is to provide a safe and open forum to showcase the diversity of critical scholarship in the region and to network across disciplines. To this end, North-Net seeks to bring together professional academics, postgraduates, and independent researchers from across fields and perspectives in order to foster interdisciplinary and inter-paradigmatic dialogues as well as to informally explore the possibilities for cooperative research, teaching, and outreach activities.
Our inaugural meeting took place 5 May, 2006 at the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne. Our second meeting will be held in early October 2006. Further details will be announced in the following weeks.
