Congratulations to Staff Tutor in Art History, Dr Kim Charnley, whose new book Sociopolitical Aesthetics: Art, Crisis and Neoliberalism is now out.

Since the turn of the millennium, protests, meetings, schoolrooms, reading groups and many other social forms have been proposed as artworks or, more ambiguously, as interventions that are somewhere between art and politics.

This book surveys the resurgence of politicized art, tracing key currents of theory and practice, and mapping them against the dominant experience of the last decade: crisis.
