The Power of Marxist Thought Conference

Claims about the importance of Marxism typically and understandably focus on its historic role in analyzing political, social and economic life. This conference will assess the impact and importance of Marxism in the context of the wider intellectual realm, and how central theory is to its very existence. The conference will feature papers by scholars from across disciplines, including but not limited to anthropology, economics, human geography, political science, social psychology, sociology and others, including Area studies and interdisciplinary fields. This conference aims to highlight the intellectual power of Marxist thought, especially in relation to the serious problems and issues facing humanity.
