Historical Materialism London is opening its call for papers for its November 6th—9th conference at SOAS. This year’s theme is Resurgent Reaction: Marxist Strategies at the End of the Liberal Order. There is no specific postcapitalist stream, but in the past, papers and panels about postcapitalism were welcome at Historical Materialism. The deadline to submit a paper or a panel is May 15th. Here are the links for paper submission and panel submission.
Here’s an excerpt of the call for papers:
