Socialist ideas of Europe in the world - 1871 to 1968

Hosted by the Department of International History

SAL.LG.04, Sir Arthur Lewis Building

Speaker

Professor Donald Sassoon

Professor Donald Sassoon

Chair

Dr Dina Gusejnova (LSE), Mr Edoardo Vaccari (LSE), and Mr Tanroop Sandhu (QMUL)

The issue of a distinct left-wing international vision seems relatively overlooked in contemporary academic work and politics, with profound implications for public life. 

Weighed down by its international contradictions, Europe is ill-prepared to grapple with illiberalism, climate breakdown, war, and migration in a coherent- let alone leftist- manner. 

This conference aims to reflect on how socialist thinkers in the 80 years between the Paris Commune and the explosion of the New Left tried to shape a distinctly international outlook and devise a new role for Europe in a changing world. 

The keynote address will be delivered by Professor Donald Sassoon (QMUL).
