Give Me Freedom, Give Me Fire: International Football and Nationalism

For our 4th event this term, the illustrious Vince Aguspina will be delivering a presentation on football, politics, and identity, followed by Q&A. No reading required -- abstract follows:

Football, despite claims to the otherwise, remains deeply extricated in the realm of politics, serving as an outlet for sentiments and affects unarticulated through established political channels. This talk will examine how the recent 2022 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2024 has become a dimension through which such sentiments, identities, and its underlying ideologies are expressed and contested, especially in the face of the digital neoliberal crisis.

Attendance is open to all, free of charge, as per usual.

Room: 3.320 @ 6pm.

As always, we will reconvene in Top Bar afterwards:)

Not sure how to get there? Keep an eye on the chat - we can usher you in from 2NE (square 2) or 4NW (square 4) !
