Today would have been the 90th birthday of my father Nicolas Walter. His anarchist philosophy seems more relevant than ever in a world where neoliberal capitalism is so spectacularly failing us. I write for @freedompress.bsky.social about his legacy freedomnews.org.uk 🧵

Ph.D studentships available at Lboro University, home of the @anarchismresgroup.bsky.social. One is a 'Positive Action studentship to support racialised minority groups'. I'm happy to hear from anyone who's interested in working with the ARG. Info below: 1. bit.ly/4eJxWdD 2. bit.ly/4fWUBUW

Don’t forget about the Anarchist Studies journal, which has been going since the late 1980s It’s a great resource, and somewhere to consider placing your next publication on anarchism!? @anarchiststudies.bsky.social

None of this would have been possible without Ruth Kinna’s leadership and support of a generation of PhD students and early career researchers at Loughborough, myself included. Loughborough hosts unquestionably the largest and most significant cluster of anarchist research anywhere.

Founding members then set up the Contemporary Anarchist Studies monograph series, now published by Manchester University Press. This is an excellent series, but I’m biased

For the academically inclined anarcho-curious: We set up the Anarchist Studies Network in 2005/6. It’s a wonderful group of people doing amazing scholar/activist research, debunking myths by correcting the historical record, painting new theoretical vistas, and much more. #anarchism 1/5

And... here's another excuse to plug the fact that I'd love to hear from potential reviewers! Do get in touch!

Anarchist Studies is a biannual journal co-edited by ARG members Ruth Kinna and @msadams.bsky.social. The book reviews editor is @johnerik-h.bsky.social. For more info, see: journals.lwbooks.co.uk/anarchiststu...
