    Historical-Materialist Psychology: Vygotsky’s Contribution

    Featured
    Online Event – Zoom Meeting
    Reading Group

    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.”

About Our Programs 

The Marxist Education Project (MEP) operates a unique radical adult education center with roots dating back forty-five years. Our classes, book release events, and panel discussions explore the roots of oppression and give voice to resistance and liberation. After years of in-person programs, we went online in 2020 at the advent of Covid. Our programs provide deep background on issues of class, race, gender, sexuality, and climate. We do this by teaching, reading literature together, and opening up lively, respectful debate.
