Over the last decade we have organised Memorial Lectures delivered by Umberto Eco, Dorothy Thompson, Marina Warner, Stuart Hall, Edward Said, Terry Eagleton, Gwyn Williams and Noam Chomsky. We have supported or run a range of conferences, symposia and seminars concerned with education, culture, the media, drama, and the future of socialism. We produce Key Words: a Journal of Cultural Materialism.
If you consider an event you are organising to be consistent with the work of the Society, you may apply for us to sponsor your event.
Membership of the Raymond Williams Society costs 20 GBP a year (10 GBP unwaged and students). New 2010 members will receive a free copy of Key Words (issue 7), advance notification of all Society events, and will have the right to attend the Annual General Meeting, to vote, and to stand for the Management Committee. You can join online by clicking "Membership of the Society" in the navigation bar on the left.
