Illuminations: Margaret Archer

Illuminations is a series of monthly informal talks on a range of key theorists who exert powerful influence within the social sciences. The format is a short presentation, followed by a general discussion on their insights, influence and interpretation in different settings. The aim is to provide a general introduction and create ongoing discussion of their work(s) for colleagues and postgraduate students from across the university, before retiring to the Cellar Bar for refreshments.

In February's talk, Ivan Horrocks (Senior Lecturer in Technology Management, Faculty of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) will introduce the work of Margaret Archer, author of – amongst other books – Realist Social Theory: The Morphogenetic Approach and Culture and Agency: The Place of Culture in Social Theory.
