Syllabus Reading Group #15

On Thursday 2 February, we will start a new series of Syllabus Reading Group gatherings. In the coming months, we will organise the Reading Group on the 1st Thursday of each month, from 17:30 to 19:00. This first meeting, we will determine the direction together with you; the starting point will continue to be the work of Silvia Federici and other texts in line with her activist-feminist practice.

We will meet live in the Syllabus room and also test the possibility of joining online. Be very welcome and bring books or texts you would like to read or discuss together! In the company of Sara O’Rourke, anthropologist who is working on a PhD on the practice of a.o. Jesse Jones.
