SUMMARY:State of Emergency in US Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:A video of this April 12\, 2025\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nAlan Wald presents an overview of the state of emergency in higher education in the United States that recalls earlier eras of extreme political repression\, such as McCarthyism in the 1950s. Students\, faculty\, and staff at US colleges and universities who stand up for Palestinian human rights and stopping the genocide in Gaza are being punished by the administrations\, and in some cases – such as Mahmoud Khalil – threatened with deportation. They are charged with being antisemitic\, even though the movement is antiracist and a sizable fraction of the protesters are themselves Jewish. This campaign is being used as a smokescreen to dismantle programs in Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion (DEI) and set Jews against other minorities. Students\, faculty\, and staff are facing deportation\, arrest\, suspension\, termination\, and other draconian measures that undermine both civil liberties and academic freedom. \nAlan Wald is active in this controversy as it plays out at the University of Michigan (U-M)\, through his membership in the U-M Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine\, and nationally\, as a member of the Academic Council of Jewish Voice for Peace. He is the H. Chandler Davis Collegiate Professor Emeritus of English Literature and American Culture at U-M\, and formerly director of the U-M Department of American Culture. His academic specialty is the US Literary Left\, about which he has authored nine books\, and he is an editor of the journals Against the Current and Science & Society.

SUMMARY:Trump\, the State\, and Global Capital
DESCRIPTION:A video of this April 19\, 2025\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nA conversation with Steve Maher and Clara Mattei\nIn the early weeks of the Trump administration in the United States we have seen on-again\, off-again tariffs\, bluster against longstanding allies and friendly approaches to erstwhile foes\, alarming threats to civil liberties and press freedom\, accelerating deportations of immigrant workers\, mass firings and layoffs of Federal employees\, dismantling of key Federal agencies\, and indifference toward threats of measles and bird-flu epidemics – and that’s only a partial list. Looking at all this through a Marxist lens presents a major challenge\, but who better to meet it than Steve Maher and Clara Mattei\, whose historical analyses of finance capital and the capitalist state have garnered well-deserved praise. Join us as we engage Steve and Clara in an open-ended conversation aimed at bringing some clarity to the burgeoning chaos that is shaking up U.S. and global capitalism and the imperialist state system. \nStephen Maher is Assistant Professor of Economics at SUNY Cortland\, and Co-Editor of the Socialist Register. With Scott Aquanno he is the co-author of The Fall and Rise of American Finance: From J.P. Morgan to Blackrock. Steve also authored Corporate Capitalism and the Integral State: General Electric and a Century of American Power. \nClara E. Mattei is the author of The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism. She is Professor of Economics and Director of the recently inaugurated Center for Heterodox Economics (CHE) at The University of Tulsa. She previously taught at the The New School for Social Research and was a fellow of the Institute for Advanced Studies.

SUMMARY:Marx's Capital Volume 1: A Short Course for Today
DESCRIPTION:A 12-session study group\, February 1 – April 26 \n\nHave you always wanted to study Marx’s Capital\, Vol 1\, and hesitated because of the time commitment to read the entire volume from start to finish? Join us for a 12-week study group covering key sections of the book. \nExperienced Capital study leader Lisa Maya Knauer will facilitate as we explore the relevance of Marx’s analysis to our current context. While we will go over the assigned material each week\, participants will read the material on their own in advance. This reading group is open to both Capital newbies and those who have read it previously but want a refresher. \n\nLisa Maya Knauer\, our facilitator\, has been involved with Marxist education in New York for her entire adult life\, and has taught a variety of classes at the MEP and its predecessors. Her current activist work focuses on immigrant workers’ rights and indigenous struggles for land and water. In her day job\, she is a tenured radical at a public university. \nThis group is approaching completion – please email info@marxedproject.org if you still wish to join.
