What is the social of socialism?
Join us in Frankfurt for the launch of the Palm Springs School for Social Research. This two-day conference brings together leading theorists and writers to address the question: What is the social of socialism?
Contemporary liberalism has become an obstacle to the full flourishing of societies and subjects. Founded by Catherine Liu, the PSSSR draws on the legacy of the Frankfurt School. We aim to advance rigorous forms of theoretical engagement with the present that are largely absent from traditional institutions of any political orientation.
