<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all, <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Institute for Culture and Society (ICS) at the University of Western Sydney (UWS) will host the
<i><a href="http://bit.ly/17PEizl">Knowledge, Culture, Piracy: Piracy as an Inter-Disciplinary Research Methodology</a></i> workshop on Thursday 21 November, 2013 at the UWS Parramatta campus.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Chaired by Professor James Arvanitakis, Dr Martin Fredriksson and Professor David Rowe, the goal of the workshop is to explore piracy as a meaningful entry point to the analysis of changing relationships, identities and cultural practices
in an era of socio-cultural destabilisation that blurs the lines between culture, economy and knowledge.
