Counterspace is now on the Utopian Studies Society map of communities, individual and research groups on tangible utopias.
Established in 1988 by a group of British scholars, the Utopian Studies Society was born after an international conference on utopianism at New Lanark, which in the early nineteenth century was managed by the founder of British socialism, Robert Owen. And re-launched following the 'Millennium of Utopias' conference at the University of East Anglia in June 1999. At present they are an interdisciplinary academic community that aims to co-ordinate and encourage the diverse work currently taking place on the subject of utopianism in the disciplines of literature, philosophy, sociology, history, architecture, politics, ecology, anthropology, film and media. They also organise annual conferences in various European locations such as Britain, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Cyprus, The Czech Republic and Italy. Large events with key-note speakers which provide an opportunity to meet some of the best utopian scholars, network and get to know researchers worldwide with shared interest in the study of utopianism.
