'"The Red Years of Cahiers du cinéma" is a monumental piece of research, from a scholar who has set himself the formidable task of preserving and disseminating a body of work that was at risk of being forgotten.'

STARTING TOMORROW!!!

Saturday August 14 to Sunday August 22. Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, CU will be held online, via Zoom.

Attendance is free, but you must register in advance for each session. Registration links can be found at https://communistuniversity.uk/cu2021-summer/

The aim of Communist University is not to present some uniform line. Speakers have been chosen in order to provoke debate rather than seek a worthless consensus - that we are all opposed to cuts, racism, war, sexism, climate change, Trump and the Tories.

There will be plenty of time given for debate. Speakers from the ‘floor’ will not be limited to one- or two-minute contributions. Nor will 'awkward'; minorities be passed over unheard. The clash of opinions is just what we are looking for. Sharp, robust, no-holds-barred debate is the best way to overcome wrong ideas.

Speakers include: Norman Finkelstein, Lars T. Lih, Tony Greenstein, Marc Mulholland, Mike Macnair, Chris Knight, Alan Hudson, David Broder, Ian Wright, Michael Roberts, Hillel Ticktin, Jack Conrad and many more!

From Saturday August 14 to Sunday August 22 we will be holding our 2021 summer Communist University. This CU will include 27 sessions, covering a wide range of topics, such as: communist theory and programme, political economy, history, anthropology, anti-racism, Israel-Palestine, free speech, ident...
