Reading Marx (Thinking Critically about Society Summer 2015)

Hey there critical thinkers!

Queer Theory, Reading Marx, Psychedelics and Society, and Intellectual Property & CopyLeft! Wow!

Reading Marx Friday 14th August 2015 7pm

This session, led by Michael Frederiksen of the Peace and Justice Center, will discuss some of the key readings of Marxism in a friendly and accessible way.

Readings:

The Communist Manifesto (Of course) by Marx and Engels.
“Socialism: Utopian & Scientific” by Engels.
**Readings available for free on website.

This series of seminar sessions has been put together to encourage the exchange of ideas, experiences, and knowledge surrounding a particular topic or theme. We want to create a place where people can meet with other people from Monterey Bay communities to talk about current events and discuss new philosophies and ways of thinking critically about society. Though these seminars have been designed for non-students, and for those of us who have had little or no college experience, everyone is invited to participate. We believe that everyone can have something to offer to the seminars as we move through current debates in politics and different political and social theories.
