<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br>

<p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The
theme of the Conference is ‘Liberation Here
and Now: Continuity and Change in Socialist
Studies at 50 Years and Beyond.’ Diverging
from the Congress theme, ‘From Far and Wide:
The Next 150’, we call upon participants to
fundamentally trouble Project Canada, to
celebrate past and future resistances and
solidarities, and to engage in dialogue on
how to get to a decolonized praxis and
collective liberation here and now. As part
of this dialogue, we remain open as always
to sessions, papers, and roundtables on the
full range of socialist inquiry.</p>
