Can Precarious Workers Be Organised?

The Left and the ecological crisis
The high point of Left electoral success represented by Corbynism, the Sanders campaign, Mélenchon and others seems to have passed.

Customer Reviews
More from Jem please!
The last two podcasts on postmodernism were great. I would welcome more in depth lectures on broad topics like this. Thanks for putting these out!
Not really podcasts!
The content consists of recorded academic seminars. I have given several episodes a go for varying amounts of time, but have only managed to get to the end once!
The topics are interesting and you do get the theoretical underpinnings, which is great, but for someone like myself who has been outside of academia for a long time the episodes are just too long and rambling and too much of a strain on the brain! Sorry!
Great public seminars
Thanks Jeremy! The episodes with Alex Williams and Erik Davis in particular are superb.
