About
You’re a student in the Netherlands and you can’t find a course on Marxist theory, political economy or history of the labor movement in your program? Or are you a researcher who would like to break through the isolation and connect with others who work with Marxist approaches? Or an activist that would like to know what Marxists have to offer for your politics these days?
Join marxism-nl.org!
Amid global turmoil, the rise of far-right and fascist politics around the world, university budget cuts and political attacks on our institutions during the protests in solidarity with Palestine, we came together as a group of Marxist students, researchers, and teachers active in the Netherlands, to unite and defend our trenches.
We created a platform (marxism-nl.org) and a network (Marxist Research Group), to connect existing initiatives, share resources, and collaborate on new activities.
This website presents the network and the initiatives of the Marxist Research Group.
marxism-nl.org promotes both academic and non-academic events such as public lectures, societal and political debates, reading groups, book launches by members or affiliated groups. It is open to whoever is interested and aims at fostering strategic and practical collaborations within and outside academia.
