The U.S., the World, and the Next Four Years
April 15-17, 2005
As many supporters of the Socialist Scholars Conference know, 7 of the 16 members of that conference's Board of Directors resigned last spring in protest of the lack of democratic and participatory governance procedures.
Nevertheless, we value the two decades-old tradition of the Socialist Scholars Conference and wish the remaining board members well. However, in response to numerous requests from individuals and organizations, we ourselves have decided to sponsor an event, a conference to be held at the CUNY Graduate Center on the weekend of April 15-17, and we are asking you and others to participate with us in this conference.
Our conference will aim to address both theoretical and organizing issues on the left. We want especially to feature discussion of the concerns of movement activists. Our aim is a lively, concise, and intellectually challenging conference that will maintain the continuity of left intellectual traditions. At the same time, we want to organize a conference oriented to the problems confronting anti-imperialist and social justice movements, here and abroad. Confirmed speakers include Tariq Ali, Barbara Ransby, David Harvey, Amy Goodman, Bill Fletcher. Jr., Ellen Meiksins Wood, Manning Marable, Peter Gowan, Michael Klare, Barbara Ehrenreich, etc.

Vom 15.-17.4. 2005 findet an der City University of New York das 2005 Left Forum statt, veranstaltet vom neuen Global Left Dialogue.
Jahrzehntelang war die New Yorker Socialist Scholars Conference (SSC) ein zentrales Treffen linker "Scientists and Activists" nicht nur aus den USA.
Letztes Jahr gab es scharfe Auseinandersetzungen im Board, die mit dem Rücktritt von sieben der sechzehn Mitglieder (Stanley Aronowitz, Eric Canepa, Nancy Holmstrom, Manning Marable, Leith Mullings, Frances Fox Piven, Julia Wrigley) endeten. Sie griffen die Tradition der SSC auf und entwickelten das Konzept eines neuen "Left Forum", das nun erstmals eine Konferenz http://www.2005leftforum.org durchführt.
Diese Veranstaltung mit einigen Dutzend workshops und Seminaren hat viele ReferentInnen und Diskutanten, die traditionell am SSC teilnahmen – aber auch andere. Dazu gehören u.a. Tariq Ali, Barbara Ehrenreich, Bill Fletcher, Jr., Ralph Nader, Ellen Meiksins Wood, François Houtart, Stanley Aronowitz, Michael Klare, Luciana Castellina, Peter Gowan, Barbara Epstein, Doug Henwood, Frances Fox Piven, William K. Tabb, David Harvey, Leo Panitch, Stephen Eric Bronner, Michael Albert, Frieder Otto Wolf, Michael Hardt, Richard D. Wolff.
