Return to the Street
This event is scheduled for June 27-28 2012 @ Goldsmiths and is organised with colleagues in the Centre for Cultural Studies. The aim of the conference is to rethink the street both in terms of its radical potential as sit where dissent, critique and change can all be achieved whilst remaining critical as to the limits of such radicality. Where does the street lead us and what happens off the street? How might we avoid the dead ends and turf wars involved both in conceptualising and using the street? How might we set about building a new politics of the street? Please see the flyer for the event here.

Welcome
The Department of Professional and Community Education offers a unique interdisciplinarity which combines community education in social, cultural and language studies, performing and community arts with professional education in social work, community and youth work, counselling and the arts therapies.
We offer pre-degree, undergraduate, and postgraduate programmes and courses as well as opportunities for postgraduate research.
We pride ourselves on our student-centred, practice-based learning and teaching and on our links with the local and professional communities with which we work.
Employability is embedded in everything we do, not least through our network of over 500 placements.
We have a long-standing commitment to working with and in the local community, especially through our Research Centre in Lifelong Learning and Community Engagement and its contract-funded research and consultancy. This centres around the themes of professional education and development; active citizenship, social justice, equalities, faith and cohesion; and the arts, mental health and welfare.
