IIPPE training workshop in Marxist Political Economy
The International Initiative for the Promotion of Political Economy announces a two-day training workshop in Marxist Political Economy to take place on 25 and 26 June 2012 at the School of Oriental and African Studies, London. We are seeking an audience of engaged participants, including postgraduate students, junior academics and activists, who have a particular interest in acquainting themselves with the principles of Marxian political economy and their contemporary relevance in a semi-formal educational setting. The workshop will be led by Ben Fine, Photis Lysandrou and Simon Mohun. Limited funding is available to support travel costs (from within the UK), but not accommodation costs. If you wish to apply to attend the workshop, please send your name, occupation and a short (one paragraph) account of why you want to participate to ew23@soas.ac.uk before 30 April 2012. The workshop is supported financially by the Barry Amiel and Norman Melburn Trust.
