The John Molyneux Memorial Talk; ft Stefania Barca
Rupture is proud to announce the first of hopefully many memorial talks in the memory of writer, ecosocialist activist and member of People Before Profit and the Socialist Workers Network John Molyneux. These talks will provide an opportunity for important ecosocialist thinkers and activists to talk about their work and ideas.
We are delighted to announce that the speaker at this first John Molyneux Memorial talk will be Stefania Barca, a historian and political ecologist. In her new book “Workers of the Earth” she uses examples from historical and contemporary labour movements to shed new light on the potentiality of workers as ecological subjects.
This talk will take place at 6pm, also in the Teachers Club. Not to be missed!
Free entry
This event will be free to attend. We will have a small raffle on the day to help us cover costs and donations are welcome!
