Hosted by the Centre for Human Rights, Department of Sociology, London School of Economics, UK
Extending the analysis from her book, Arise! Global Radicalism in the Era of the Mexican Revolution, Heatherton will consider how war, nationalism, and revolutionary nostalgia have confounded the development of an internationalist consciousness. In revisiting the radical theories and visions developed in an earlier era of global solidarity, she will consider how we might now imagine otherwise.
