Announcing the Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education! in person or on Zoom

Curious about socialism? Interested in a discussion of whether it is really
possible and a sober look at the problems it will face? Wondering why
socialists put so much emphasis on the working class?

In these uncertain and dangerous times, The Leo Panitch School for
Socialist Education is a space to listen, discuss and challenge the
contemporary relevance of socialism. The school will provide an
introduction to socialism, as well as a variety of courses and events that
seek to expand on key aspects of socialist thought and practice. It will be
a gathering place for both those already sympathetic to socialism but
looking to learn more, and those new to socialist ideas and full of
questions. 

Leo Panitch was a highly influential international thinker, a much-loved
and respected teacher, and an especially effective and sought-after public
intellectual. The school is both a tribute to him and a response, in these
most turbulent of times, to a new interest in socialism. Inspired by Leo's
ideas and commitment, the school will host annual lectures with prominent
domestic and international speakers and run classes to develop and spread
socialist ideas.

As such, we are thrilled to officially announce the launch of the school at
a very special event on January 13 2023, from 7pm (EST). Featured will be
an introduction of the school and a guest lecture by Bryan D. Palmer,
Professor Emeritus at Trent University, on the topic of “Capitalism,
Colonialism, and Canada: How the past is before us.”

Following the talk will be a time for friendly discussion and conversation.
Light refreshments will be available for all those in attendance.  

All are warmly invited to join us for this celebration from wherever you
are, either with us in person at 720 Bathurst St., Toronto, or remotely via
Zoom. Please register soon so we can guarantee your place at the event!
