*/Radical left politics/* The continuing intensification of neoliberal
policies across Europe and beyond will bring major challenges to the
workers and popular classes, at home and abroad.
The re-composition of radical left politics in the UK and
internationally presents both a challenge and an opportunity for
activities and academics. In this context, Critical Labour Studies (CLS)
in partnership with the Conference of Socialist Economics
<http://www.cseweb.org.uk/> (CSE) has organised a one-day event with the
intention of encouraging discussion and reflection after the political
changes of the current year.
The CLS tradition is one of open debate and discussion. The day will be
organised around four themed session, with maximum time for discussion
from participants:
* Crisis and austerity: trade union responses
* Left poiltics and the labour movement
* Alternatives to austerity in Europe
* New worlds of work
/*Speakers* /will include activists/academics from a number of
backgrounds including, Martin Smith, GMB Maurizio Atzeni, Jenny Chan,
Rachel Cohen, John Kelly, Phoebe Moore, Paul Stewart, Martin Upchurch,
Bob Jeffery.
/*Also for your diary:* /the annual two-day CLS Symposium and workshop
will be held in Durham in November 2016.
