Last night’s inaugural panel was a huge success! The turnout was overwhelming, and the conversation fantastic. ACT would like to thank the participants, Stanley Aronowitz, Susan Buck-Morss, Jerry Gafio Watts and John Krinksy for a lively, timely and deep conversation. We’ll be posting video soon. Please stay tuned.

Please join us on Tuesday, March 29th from 6:30-8:30 at the CUNY Graduate Center (room 5414) for our inaugural event!  John Krinsky will be moderating a discussion between Stanley Aronowitz, Susan Buck-Morss, and Jerry Gafio Watts about the state of The Left in academia and public discourse.  A reception will follow.

Please see our flyer here.

We’re hard at work putting together our next event!

We’re bringing together Susan Buck-Morss, Stanley Aronowitz, Jerry Watts, and John Krinsky to discuss the “What’s left of The Left?”  The discussion will center around the decline of left thought in academia, and consider what connection can be found between this decline in academia and the failure of left thought to penetrate public discourse.

Our tentative event date is Tuesday, March 29th from 6:30-8:30.  More details forthcoming, we’ll post the official announcement and flyer here once details are finalized.

ACT is now an officially chartered organization of the DSC!
