DESCRIPTION:The economic crisis\, as many commentators and critics are quick to point out\, has rekindled interest in-and anxieties over-Marxism. Although many on the Left hope this renewed curiosity marks the beginning of a radical turn\, similar revivals of anti-capitalist politics in the 1930s\, 1960s\, and 1990s failed to achieve the revolutionary transformations they sought.
Has Marxism returned as a significant political force? How might this translate into the possibility for a revitalized Left? Will the resurgence of Marxist theory provide opportunities for social change-or merely the opportunity to fail again?
Join us for a provocative and thoroughgoing discussion of these and other questions.
This event is free and open to the public.

Batty boy is a pejorative slur used to describe people who are (or are
presumed to be) gay\, bisexual and effeminate men. Troy Jackson
(www.enjoytroyjackson.com) squares off toe to toe with the notion of
homophobic violence spurred on by our families\, culture and society
worldwide through his music. The Batty Boys Revenge is a sassy\, punk\, pop
anthem\, which invites the Queer community to take back their beat despite
anti-homophobic rhetoric or potential violence.
