Antonio Gramsci Studies
The ongoing 2026 Gramsci Study Sessions meet on Sundays at 11 am ET. We are reading and exploring 'Selections from the Prison Notebooks', 'Selections from Cultural Writings', 'Selections from Political Writings', and Gramsci’s writings on international politics, as they relate to contemporary issues and conflicts.
‘Beneath the Wage’ with Annie McClanahan
A conversation with author Annie McClanahan on 'Beneath the Wage: Tips, Tasks, and Gigs in the Age of Service Work.' Today, 80 percent of U.S. workers do service work, from delivering takeout to mopping floors to teaching. Do these jobs have anything in common? Who is doing this work? And what kind of labor politics does it generate?
Historical-Materialist Psychology: Vygotsky’s Contribution
Carl Ratner presents a new edition of this six-week series, in which we explore Lev Vygotsky's approach to historical-materialist culture. Vygotsky (1896-1934) was a dedicated academic Marxist who was active in efforts during the revolutionary period to develop socialist cultural institutions and social sciences. He said, “We must learn from Marx’s whole method how to build a science, how to approach the investigation of the mind.”

Hegel for Radicals: On Art and Literature
Francis Fukuyama proclaimed The End of History in the 1990’s; art critic Arthur C. Danto proclaimed The End of Art in the 1960s. The genesis of both concepts are credited to Hegel. The MEP’s recurring series Hegel for Radicals resumes with a seminar on Hegel’s Lectures on Aesthetics, where we will study his understanding of art and literature.
