Each year the Socialist Scholars Conference, the largest non-sectarian gathering of the Left in the United States, attracts between 1500 and 2,000 intellectuals and activists from more than a dozen countries. At one hundred panels, plenaries, and workshops, scholars and militants debate and exchange ideas about struggles around the world and in our communities.
Last year's Conference hosted spirited debates on the "end of work" vs. jobs for all; identity politics and the Left's universalism; Cuban economists on market reform; the Million Man March; and the war on drugs. This year panels will discuss changes in the labor movement at the top and bottom; independent politics and NY's race for mayor; struggles for survival and justice in Asia, Africa and Latin America; bringing culture back in; and dozens of others on race, ecology, gender, class, and building a better world.
The Socialist Scholars Conference is a great place to renew old acquaintances, meet new comrades, and share ideas. We hope to see you there!
