The Works of Henri Lefebvre: Four Lectures
We introduce the work of French Marxist theorist Henri Lefebvre through four monthly lectures presented by cultural studies scholar Iván Zatz-Díaz.
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.”

How might a twenty-first-century revolution against class society succeed? Join us for a conversation with Jasper Bernes, author of The Future of Revolution: Communist Prospects from the Paris Commune to the George Floyd Uprising. Communism comes from the future, but its hopes haunt our past. Bernes reads the revolutionary history of workers' councils and communes in the light of thinkers from Karl Marx to Paul Mattick and C.L.R. James.
