SUMMARY:Trumping Trump: The New Wave of Resistance
DESCRIPTION:The New Wave of Resistance in Our Time\nCo-sponsored by encuentro5 and Universalizing Resistance \nWith the rise of the far right and its cynical exploitation of “class” as a mobilizing tool\, the left has been forced onto the defensive. This event is a bold reassertion of a class politics that also validates the struggles and priorities of so-called “identity-based” groups. Public sociologist\, Charles Derber draws on his new book\, Welcome to the Revolution\, to support a new wave of resistance to the intersectional system of militarized capitalism.  \nHe is joined by Janet MacGillivray\, an environmental lawyer\, indigenous activist\, a founder of Seeding Sovereignty\, who will speak to her organizing with young people at Standing Rock. Leading the conversation will be movement strategist\, Jodeen Olguin-Tayler\, an organizer of many transformative labor and community campaigns involving super-exploited workers and cross-sector movements. Both Janet and Jodeen contributed short interludes—accounts and analyses of resistance—to Charles’ book. \nFor more information\, see http://UniversalizingResistance.org

SUMMARY:Is Another World Really Possible?
DESCRIPTION:A Collaborative Reading and Writing Project\nConvened with Richard Greeman\n12 Weeks\, September 24 through December 10\nStated admissions are for the entire course. Single admission are $10. No one is turned away for inability to pay. \nNew York participants should join us at New Perspectives Theatre (458 W. 37th St) at 10:45 am on Sunday\, 9/24 (tomorrow). The theater is accessible from the 34th St/Hudson Yards stop on the #7 train\, or from Penn Station.

SUMMARY:Kent State: Death and Dissent in the Long Sixties
DESCRIPTION:Presentation and discussion with author Thomas Grace \nIn Kent State: Death and Dissent in the Long Sixties\, Thomas M. Grace details how the National Guard killings of antiwar students at Kent State University on May 4\, 1970\, were not a mere tragic anomaly. Rather they were grounded in a tradition of student political activism that extended back to Ohio’s labor battles of the 1950s. The vast expansion of the\nuniversity after World War II brought in growing numbers of working-class enrollees from the industrial centers of northeast Ohio\, members of the same demographic cohort that eventually made up the core of American combat forces in Vietnam. As the Vietnam War’s rising costs came to be felt acutely in their home communities\, Kent’s students joined the growing antiwar movement and clashed with the university administration and the political conservatives who dominated county and state government in Ohio. The battle over the memory and meaning of May 4 has continued to the present day. \nTHOMAS M. GRACE is adjunct professor of history at Erie Community College. A 1972 graduate of Kent State University\, he earned a PhD in history from SUNY Buffalo after many years as a social worker and union representative.

SUMMARY:Fridays As In Murder: Women\, Violence & Genre Formulas
DESCRIPTION:Convened by Jacqueline Cantwell\nFridays\, 6:00 to 8:00\n10 meetings\, November 10 through January 26\nNo session on Friday\, November 24 or December 29 \nIn traditional hard-boiled and crime novels\, women either provoke violence as femme fatales or need protection as paying clients or wandering daughters. Some authors were dissatisfied with this pulp convention and worked in an extension of pulp\, film noir\, writing scripts with more complicated women. Drawing upon the potentials of film noir’s formula of restlessness\, dread\, and discontent within social corruption\, women novelists wrote of threats to the domestic sphere and American society emerging as the global hegemon. As women’s opportunities improved and the conventions of the detective novel changed\, women writers explored crime and violence resulting from the racism and class exploitation while some male authors began writing of more complicated women. \nOur Friday readings will consist of the following: \nAttica Locke\, The Cutting Season\nThe body of a migrant worker is found on the grounds of a former plantation turned into an historical amusement park\, complete with slave quarters. Outside the plantation\, the hard-pressed owners of sugar cane fields are selling their land to a corporation that relies upon undocumented migrants. A mystery from the time of slavery parallels the modern murder. \nDorothy B. Hughes\, The Expendable Man\nDriving toward Phoenix\, Densmore sees a young white woman hitchhiking. Even though he knows that a black man should not offer a white girl a ride\, he fears for her safety. Then\, he gets charged with her murder. Complicating his lackluster defense is that the woman has died from complications of an illegal abortion and he is a medical student. \nJean-Patrick Manchette\, Fatale \nCan a man portray a woman with a gun differently? Maybe when by Manchette. A woman comes to town to kill the corrupt. Stripped down language. Bloodier than Red Harvest. Manchette brought politics back to French thrillers. \nNina Revoyr\, Lost Canyon \nFour hikers whose ethnic and cultural backgrounds represent a diverse Los Angeles get lost in the mountains and find a murder. Moving effortlessly between city and wilderness\, Lost Canyon explores the ways that race\, class\, and culture shape experience and perception while examining the choices good people must face in desperate situations. \nJacqueline Cantwell has explored the depths of crime fiction along with the heights the desperate will often want to throw themselves from. These fictions will lay bare many of the facts of the cold as ice killings and cover-ups present in a modern world where we are expected to behave better—but very often do not. What better night than Fridays in Autumn for murder and mayhem.

SUMMARY:A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things
DESCRIPTION:with Jason W. Moore \nNature\, money\, work\, care\, food\, energy\, and lives: these are the seven things that have made our world and will shape its future. In making these things cheap\, modern commerce has transformed\, governed\, and devastated Earth. Jason W. Moore presents a new book authored with Raj Patel\, A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things.  \nBringing the latest ecological research together with histories of colonialism\, indigenous struggles\, slave revolts\, and other rebellions and uprisings\, Moore and Patel demonstrate that throughout the history of capitalism\, crises have always prompted fresh efforts to restore the seven cheap things – regardless of the cost to working people and the environment. At a time of crisis in all seven cheap things\, they propose radical new ways of understanding—and reclaiming—the planet in the turbulent twenty-first century. \nJason W. Moore teaches world history and world-ecology at Binghamton University\, and is coordinator of the World-Ecology Research Network. He is the author of Capitalism in the Web of Life and numerous award-winning essays in environmental history\, political economy\, and social theory.

SUMMARY:Fridays As In Murder: Women\, Violence & Genre Formulas
DESCRIPTION:Convened by Jacqueline Cantwell\nFridays\, 6:00 to 8:00\n10 meetings\, November 10 through January 26\nNo session on Friday\, November 24 or December 29 \nIn traditional hard-boiled and crime novels\, women either provoke violence as femme fatales or need protection as paying clients or wandering daughters. Some authors were dissatisfied with this pulp convention and worked in an extension of pulp\, film noir\, writing scripts with more complicated women. Drawing upon the potentials of film noir’s formula of restlessness\, dread\, and discontent within social corruption\, women novelists wrote of threats to the domestic sphere and American society emerging as the global hegemon. As women’s opportunities improved and the conventions of the detective novel changed\, women writers explored crime and violence resulting from the racism and class exploitation while some male authors began writing of more complicated women. \nOur Friday readings will consist of the following: \nAttica Locke\, The Cutting Season\nThe body of a migrant worker is found on the grounds of a former plantation turned into an historical amusement park\, complete with slave quarters. Outside the plantation\, the hard-pressed owners of sugar cane fields are selling their land to a corporation that relies upon undocumented migrants. A mystery from the time of slavery parallels the modern murder. \nDorothy B. Hughes\, The Expendable Man\nDriving toward Phoenix\, Densmore sees a young white woman hitchhiking. Even though he knows that a black man should not offer a white girl a ride\, he fears for her safety. Then\, he gets charged with her murder. Complicating his lackluster defense is that the woman has died from complications of an illegal abortion and he is a medical student. \nJean-Patrick Manchette\, Fatale \nCan a man portray a woman with a gun differently? Maybe when by Manchette. A woman comes to town to kill the corrupt. Stripped down language. Bloodier than Red Harvest. Manchette brought politics back to French thrillers. \nNina Revoyr\, Lost Canyon \nFour hikers whose ethnic and cultural backgrounds represent a diverse Los Angeles get lost in the mountains and find a murder. Moving effortlessly between city and wilderness\, Lost Canyon explores the ways that race\, class\, and culture shape experience and perception while examining the choices good people must face in desperate situations. \nJacqueline Cantwell has explored the depths of crime fiction along with the heights the desperate will often want to throw themselves from. These fictions will lay bare many of the facts of the cold as ice killings and cover-ups present in a modern world where we are expected to behave better—but very often do not. What better night than Fridays in Autumn for murder and mayhem.

SUMMARY:Is Another World Really Possible?
DESCRIPTION:A Collaborative Reading and Writing Project\nConvened with Richard Greeman\n12 Weeks\, September 24 through December 10\nStated admissions are for the entire course. Single admission are $10. No one is turned away for inability to pay. \nNew York participants should join us at New Perspectives Theatre (458 W. 37th St) at 10:45 am on Sunday\, 9/24 (tomorrow). The theater is accessible from the 34th St/Hudson Yards stop on the #7 train\, or from Penn Station. Coffee\, tea and cakes will be available. \nIf you plan to watch online\, the URL is\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7eHTpHxoTc \nPrepare by reading Richard Greeman’s Then and Now at\nhttp://futurehistorians.org/doku.php?id=then_and_now \nand/or by watching Immanuel Wallerstein’s “Utopistics” lecture at\n \n2017 taught us all that “No is not enough.” We need a positive vision of a better world and the roads leading to it. So let’s imagine we are future historians living in a peaceful\, egalitarian\, democratic society on a damaged\, but stabilized\, planet in the year 2117. Our project is to look backward a century to the year 2017 (the centenary of the unforeseen 1917 Soviet revolution) and reconstruct how our great-grandparents got us from here — today’s capitalist death-spiral to there — a livable\, sustainable\, global society free of oppression and exploitation. We will meet weekly\, in-person at our New York studio and via teleconference with participants across several time zones (including philosopher Peter Hudis in Chicago and ecosocialist Michel Löwy in Paris) with the goal of collectively creating a popular future fiction of a realistically plausible better world – a vision that might go viral and become a self-fulfilling prophecy. \nWorld-wide participants as of September 1: MAELLA DOQUIN\, Paris\, activist since 1968 • ALEXEI GUSEV\, Moscow\, Historian of Russian Oppositions\, Chair of Praxis Center for Research and Eduction • JULIA GUSEVA\, Moscow\, translator of Victor Serge\, anarcho-syndicalist\, co-founder of Praxis Center • HARRY HALPIN\, Paris\, Internet revolutionary and activist\, team member World Wide Web Consortium\, author: Social Semantics: The Search for Meaning on the Web • JASON HICKS\, NYC transit worker\, union activist\, DSA member\, philosopher • PETER HUDIS\, Chicago\, Marxist-humanist philosopher and activist.

SUMMARY:Extreme Cities
DESCRIPTION:A Conversation with Ashley Dawson\nco-host: NYC DSA Climate Justice  \nJoin us as climate-justice activists engage in a dialogue with Ashley Dawson\, author of Extreme Cities \nAshley Dawson argues that cities are ground zero for climate change\, contributing the lion’s share of carbon to the atmosphere\, while also lying on the frontlines of rising sea levels. He offers an alarming portrait of the future of our cities\, describing the efforts of Staten Island\, New York\, and Shishmareff\, Alaska residents to relocate; Holland’s models for defending against the seas; and the development of New York City before and after Hurricane Sandy.  \nAs Dawson sees it\, our best hope lies not with fortified sea walls but in urban movements already fighting to remake our cities in a more just and equitable way. \nAshley Dawson is a professor of English at the City University of New York\, and also the author of Extinction: A Radical History.  \nNo one turned away for inability to pay

SUMMARY:Counter-cartographies of the global supply chain
DESCRIPTION:Counter-cartographies of the global supply chain: An insurgent mapping workshop \nSupply chains justify their increasing reach into our daily lives by claiming that they provide us with critical necessities when we most need them. But do they? What are the unseen forms of violence\, dispossession and exploitation that are concealed in the objects we buy with a simple click of the check-out button? Is there ethical consumption under capitalism? Does an ethical purchase at one site travel through multiple other sites of violence? How have logistical systems grown\, developed\, and shaped our spaces? Who funds them? Whose lives are considered expendable in their construction? This workshop will map the global supply chain through tracing the passage of everyday commodities from their point of production to your doorstep. In doing so\, we will examine the infrastructure and ‘externalized costs’—human\, economic\, social and environmental—of the international flow of things. We will explore the potential for our own insurgent mapping projects\, seeking to understand how supply chains are resilient yet vulnerable and fragile—and to identify where working-class solidarity has the greatest possibility to spread up and down the chain\, across sectors\, borders–and even oceans.   \nCharmaine Chua is a member of the Empire Logistics collective and Assistant Professor of Politics at Oberlin College. Her work examines the rise of logistics and containerized shipping in the context of the transPacific supply chain\, and seeks to uncover how supply chains that claim to provision life actually distribute inequality\, containment\, and ‘vulnerability to premature death’.\n\nLaurel Mei-Singh serves as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in American Studies at Princeton University. Her research interests include land and militarization\, the relationship of race and indigeneity to histories of war\, and the Pacific. She is writing a book on military fences and grassroots struggles for land and livelihood in Hawai’i. \nTickets are sliding scale: no one turned away for inability to pay.

SUMMARY:Fridays As In Murder: Women\, Violence & Genre Formulas
DESCRIPTION:Convened by Jacqueline Cantwell\nFridays\, 6:00 to 8:00\n10 meetings\, November 10 through January 26\nNo session on Friday\, November 24 or December 29 \nIn traditional hard-boiled and crime novels\, women either provoke violence as femme fatales or need protection as paying clients or wandering daughters. Some authors were dissatisfied with this pulp convention and worked in an extension of pulp\, film noir\, writing scripts with more complicated women. Drawing upon the potentials of film noir’s formula of restlessness\, dread\, and discontent within social corruption\, women novelists wrote of threats to the domestic sphere and American society emerging as the global hegemon. As women’s opportunities improved and the conventions of the detective novel changed\, women writers explored crime and violence resulting from the racism and class exploitation while some male authors began writing of more complicated women. \nOur Friday readings will consist of the following: \nAttica Locke\, The Cutting Season\nThe body of a migrant worker is found on the grounds of a former plantation turned into an historical amusement park\, complete with slave quarters. Outside the plantation\, the hard-pressed owners of sugar cane fields are selling their land to a corporation that relies upon undocumented migrants. A mystery from the time of slavery parallels the modern murder. \nDorothy B. Hughes\, The Expendable Man\nDriving toward Phoenix\, Densmore sees a young white woman hitchhiking. Even though he knows that a black man should not offer a white girl a ride\, he fears for her safety. Then\, he gets charged with her murder. Complicating his lackluster defense is that the woman has died from complications of an illegal abortion and he is a medical student. \nJean-Patrick Manchette\, Fatale \nCan a man portray a woman with a gun differently? Maybe when by Manchette. A woman comes to town to kill the corrupt. Stripped down language. Bloodier than Red Harvest. Manchette brought politics back to French thrillers. \nNina Revoyr\, Lost Canyon \nFour hikers whose ethnic and cultural backgrounds represent a diverse Los Angeles get lost in the mountains and find a murder. Moving effortlessly between city and wilderness\, Lost Canyon explores the ways that race\, class\, and culture shape experience and perception while examining the choices good people must face in desperate situations. \nJacqueline Cantwell has explored the depths of crime fiction along with the heights the desperate will often want to throw themselves from. These fictions will lay bare many of the facts of the cold as ice killings and cover-ups present in a modern world where we are expected to behave better—but very often do not. What better night than Fridays in Autumn for murder and mayhem.

SUMMARY:A People’s History of the World
DESCRIPTION:Convened by Branden Rippey\nDowntown Newark on Orchard Street \nUsing A People’s History of the World by Chris Harman\, this course will study the broad trends in the history of our world\, from early human civilization to today. We will complete the book during this term\, covering events from 1750 through our present day. The goal of the course is to apply Harman’s Marxist perspective to understand major trends and significant junctures in world history\, why Marx stated that the history of all prior societies has been the history of class struggle\, and how that history of class struggles has shaped class and race relations today and provide us with valuable lessons for combating capitalism during our current stage of human development. \nBranden Rippey is a history teacher in Newark\, New Jersey\, a founding member of the Newark Education Workers (NEW Caucus)\, and is active in socialist politics.  \nSliding Scale: $60 / $70 / $80\n$5 or $10 per session. No one turned away for inability to pay \nMEP Classes in Newark: A short walk from Newark Penn Station

SUMMARY:A People’s History of the World
DESCRIPTION:Convened by Branden Rippey\nDowntown Newark on Orchard Street \nUsing A People’s History of the World by Chris Harman\, this course will study the broad trends in the history of our world\, from early human civilization to today. We will complete the book during this term\, covering events from 1750 through our present day. The goal of the course is to apply Harman’s Marxist perspective to understand major trends and significant junctures in world history\, why Marx stated that the history of all prior societies has been the history of class struggle\, and how that history of class struggles has shaped class and race relations today and provide us with valuable lessons for combating capitalism during our current stage of human development. \nBranden Rippey is a history teacher in Newark\, New Jersey\, a founding member of the Newark Education Workers (NEW Caucus)\, and is active in socialist politics.  \nSliding Scale: $60 / $70 / $80\n$5 or $10 per session.
