Anarchist Studies Network (ASN)

Description

The Anarchist Studies Network (ASN) is a support network for people working on, or incorporating in their work, the field of anarchism in its many forms. It encourages the study of anarchism within academia by building links between scholars across subject areas, as well as groups located outside the official sphere of academia, including those formed for activism and public intellectual life. It supports people in collaborating and create an inclusive space to share ideas, thoughts, and research. It also aims to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue between anarchists and other scholars.

ASN hosts a variety of events and activities. The biennial Anarchist Studies Network conference is its flagship event which attracts people from all over the world. The conference is a focal point for many scholars to share new research, present ideas or simply meet like-minded people in convivial settings. The conference actively supports early-career or underfunded participants with grants and is committed to working on inclusion and dismantling structures of power within the space. ASN also organises smaller workshops and research activities lead by its members, notably through the Political Studies Association’s annual conferences. Its members actively contribute to an informal blog for more accessible anarchist writings and share knowledge and best practice through online discussions.
