Radical intellectuals in the ivory tower? The limits of leftist academia

10:00am Sun 20 Apr
melbourne

About this session

Socialist Alternative aims to build a mass socialist workers' party to lead a revolution against capitalism. What role will radical university academics play in that project, if any? This session will assess the contradictory contributions that university intellectuals have made in the fight for socialism and the limits that academia imposes on those who try to use it as a vehicle for radical change.
