2015 Conference

We want to thank everyone that came out for the 5th Annual Radical Democracy conference at The New School for Social Research. Once again, we had a great series of panels and discussions, as well as a great roundtable and keynote talk. If you missed something, the event videos can be watched either on our youtube channel, or the livestream archives. We are slowly adding higher quality versions of some of the main events to our YouTube channel, but all the events can be seen in the two livestream archived, all of which is posted under our Videos link the main menu (also here). As a special thank you, here's a solidarity photo which we took during the afternoon of one of the event to support the Maagdenhuis student occupations.

Maagdenhuis_Solidarity_2015We look forward to seeing all of you, and even more new folks, at the 6th Annual Radical Democracy Conference in 2016!
