anniversaries, conferences…

2020 marks the centenary of the foundation of the Communist Party of Great Britain, and the bicentenary of the birth of Karl Marx’s lifelong collaborator, Friedrich Engels. And of course, anniversaries means conferences. The University of Brighton are hosting a conference on Engels in Eastbourne on 23 and 24 June 2020. Later on this year, on 18 and 19 September 2020, the People’s History Museum in Manchester is hosting a conference, in conjunction with Socialist History, Twentieth Century Communism and the CPGB Archive Trust, on Workers of the world? The Communist Party of Great Britain as a global party. A call for papers for the CPGB conference has been launched.
