Socialist Theory and Movements Research Network

Description

The Study of Socialist Theory and Movements Network, founded in 1981, is a unique interdisciplinary forum for academic discourse and critical analysis of the traditions, legacies, and ongoing concerns of socialist theory and praxis. The Network, formerly known as the Centre for the Study of Socialist Theory and Movements, fosters the sharing of ideas, promotes new research, and supports the study of socialist theory and movements by current and prospective scholars. Scholars studying under the auspices of the Network benefit from the University Library's extensive special collections of relevant material and the vibrant communities, museums, and civic archives of the city.

The Network's regular seminar series serves as a focal point for collaborative research among faculty and students alike. The series features esteemed speakers from Glasgow and beyond, covering a wide range of disciplines including history, political science, political economy, economics, literature, film, theatre, and performance. These seminars and events are open to the public, facilitating engagement with the broader academic community.

The Network's PhD students have produced research on diverse topics, such as Ricardo and Marx, Analytical Marxism, the political economy of finance capital, and the nature of gold in relation to South Africa. The Network welcomes applications for research on any aspect of socialist theory and movements.
