Gardner Arts Centre Freebies

English Touring Theatre
Hushabye Mountain by Jonathan Harvey

- a new play by the award winning writer of Beautiful Thing which takes a long hard look at love, life and living with AIDS in the 90s. Danny is dead but not quite gone - which is awkward because his boyfriend Conner is trying to move on with his life: a life which includes looking after Danny's mum, his brother's love life, his own future and strange apparitions of Judy Garland.

The Gardner Arts Centre has free tickets to give away to the first 10 readers who turn up at the box office waving a copy of the Bulletin.

New Faces

Justin Rosenberg
Senior Lecturer in International Relations

New Senior Lecturer in International Relations, Justin Rosenberg, is delighted to have left the city behind for more pleasant surroundings. Having lived in Neasden, North London he says there is "no comparison to his current journey into work through Woodingdean and past the wonderful sea views." Justin joins us from the LSE where he taught for seven years. He is particularly impressed by the close proximity of so many interesting and varied shops in Brighton and is looking forward to exploring the Laines with his passion for jazz in mind.

Attracted by the "distinctive blend of history and theory" here in International Relations, Justin's main focus is on reinterpreting the history of the international system over the last 200 years using ideas from Marx and Weber. In fact, he developed a lecture series on this theme at LSE which he will be starting up here next year. Justin's PhD, The Empire of Civil Society, won the Isaac Deutscher memorial prize in 1994 and he is now the secretary of the prize committee - so any nominations for next year's prize should be directed to him. He also hopes to start up a Das Kapital Reading Group, reading through volume one of Marx's work, and anyone interested in joining should contact him on e-mail: j.p.rosenberg@sussex.ac.uk
