Our colleagues at Antipode have put together a supplement to the ‘Boys Town Redux’ virtual theme issue Mary Thomas assembled for the Society and Space open site. A good number of papers – Rosalyn Deutsche, David Harvey, Gerry Pratt, Doreen Massey, Gillian Rose, Linda McDowell, Iris Marion Young, Cindi Katz and many others – from both journals are now open access for a limited time. The Society and Space papers will be available until 7 May 2012; the Antipode ones until 23 June 2012.
