Socialism after Populism Conference<\/h1><\/div>

\"\"<\/p>\n

November 15-16, 2019 \u2022 <\/strong>UC Riverside<\/h2>\n

Free and open to the public<\/em><\/p>\n

Populism is at the forefront of political controversy across Europe, North America, and Latin America.\u00a0\u00a0 At the same time, socialism has come again to have a surprising resonance in political debate.\u00a0 In the midst of a nearly worldwide ascendance of populism, what is the path for those who remain committed to the traditional goals of democratic socialism — the widening and strengthening of social and economic relations characterized by solidarity, greater equality, and freedom?\u00a0 Is there a socialist theory or program that can successfully address the legacies of colonialism and racial hierarchy upon which much populism apparently feeds? Are Brexit and Trump signs of the past failure to promote solidarity, freedom and equality?\u00a0 Or are they indications that future relevance requires those who are committed to solidarity, equality and freedom to adopt more populist ideals, strategies and policies? \u00a0Our conference invites participants to approach these and related questions, ones rooted in long-standing debates, in critical social analysis, normative concern and conceptual innovation.<\/p>\n
