This workshop brings together academics, theorists and people involved  
in social and environmental projects, organisations and activism to  
read Marx and Marxists’ work in the context of current controversies,  
challenges and alternatives. Through a mutual co-production of  
knowledge informed by academic research, open discussion, local  
practitioner expertise and public experience, the work of Marx and  
Marxists will be read in new ways and shared in new forms with new  
audiences, in order to be put to new uses.

All welcome. Please register using Eventbrite link above.
