12 years on from a devastating financial crash, and the global economy is tumbling once again. The left needs to get ready for what's ahead, a key part of which is understanding how we got here. This interactive time-lining workshop will reflect on the challenges the left has faced since 2008, how it responded, and what we can learn from the successes and failures over this period.
Speakers:
Maya Goodfellow is a writer and academic. Her book Hostile Environment: How Immigrants Became Scapegoats came out with Verso in November 2019.
Jack Shenker is a writer based in London and Cairo, and a former Egypt correspondent for the Guardian. His latest book entitled Now We Have Your Attention was published in 2019.
Left strategy: where do we go from here?
