Socialist ideas of Europe in the world - 1871 to 1968

Hosted by the Department of International History

SAL.LG.04, Sir Arthur Lewis Building

Speaker

Professor Donald Sassoon

Professor Donald Sassoon

Chair

Dr Dina Gusejnova (ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳), Mr Edoardo Vaccari (ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳), and Mr Tanroop Sandhu (QMUL)

The issue of a distinct left-wing international vision seems relatively overlooked in contemporary academic work and politics, with profound implications for public life. 

Weighed down by its international contradictions, Europe is ill-prepared to grapple with illiberalism, climate breakdown, war, and migration in a coherent- let alone leftist- manner. 

This conference aims to reflect on how socialist thinkers in the 80 years between the Paris Commune and the explosion of the New Left tried to shape a distinctly international outlook and devise a new role for Europe in a changing world. 

The keynote address will be delivered by (QMUL).
