The past is never dead. It's not even past

Not Even Past

Panel: “Socialisms in Practice: Three Twentieth-Century Cases” (Agency and Action: Chapters in Socialist and Collectivist History Series)

Wednesday March 11, 2020

3:00 PM – 4:30 PM

From the time the term was coined in the nineteenth century, ‘socialism’ has been a protean concept, and remains so today. This panel will examine socialist activity and practice in three widely different twentieth-century contexts, analyzing the specific historical circumstances that gave rise to each manifestation.

Panel features:
