SUMMARY:Crises\, Contradictions\, and Collective Life
DESCRIPTION:The contemporary moment is defined by profound threats to collective life: from intensifying genocidal projects in Palestine\, Sudan\, and the Congo\, to a resurgent fascism and militarism across the globe\, to the undermining of Black and Indigenous life in shifting practices of racial and colonial domination\, to capitalism’s broader threat to the ecological conditions of life as such. At the same time\, new movements\, new forms of struggle\, and new modes of thought have emerged to answer these challenges. How can socialism – a theory and practice oriented toward the liberation of collective life from the stultifying\, atomizing\, and murderous tendencies of capital – answer these intensifying threats to collective life? \nThis year’s conference is therefore situated in and amid the contradictions of collective life\, of intellectual life and political action in the context of scorched earth\, genocidal politics. At the same time\, we cannot decontextualize this conference from the broader politics of today; the urgency of the moment and its challenge to intellectual life was highlighted by universities’ attempts to repress protests against Israel’s genocidal war in Palestine. What does it mean to have a conference negotiating the future of socialist thought and action in a setting undergirded by the funding of genocide and repression of critique? As such\, the conference calls for contributions that ask how stretching our analyses – emphasizing new strategies\, new tactics\, and new frameworks – can answer this call.

SUMMARY:Booklaunch: Health and Health Care Inequities
DESCRIPTION:The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is honoured to host the Toronto launch of Health and Healthcare Inequities by author and healthcare worker Arnel Borras. \nThe book provides an in-depth examination of health and healthcare inequities\, delving into the interplay between power dynamics\, policy advocacy\, evidence-based research\, and political economy. It uniquely integrates document and interview data to critically analyze how inequalities related to class\, race\, ethnicity\, and gender contribute to health inequities. \nBy exploring the roles of various social systems – economic\, political\, cultural\, and institutional – the book exposes the complex mechanisms perpetuating these disparities. What sets this work apart is its explicit argument that capitalism\, integrally imbricated with neocolonialism\, racism\, and sexism\, is the fundamental driver of health and health care inequities. It challenges prevailing narratives and a distinct perspective by advocating for socialist-oriented solutions. \nThe Leo Panitch School is thrilled to welcome Arnel and a number of key contributors to speak to the themes\, challenges\, and arguments raised in this important new book.
