Labour Must Halt its War on Pubs Tue Sep 09, 2025 19:30 | Will Jones
One pub is closing every day. And Labour's 'banter ban' ? Clause 20 of the Employment Rights Bill ? is only going to make it worse as pubs are left with the escalating bills to cover their legal costs.

The African Countries Demanding Reparations Are Astonishingly Hypocritical Tue Sep 09, 2025 15:46 | Will Jones
The African Union's demand for colonial reparations is an act of cynical opportunism that ignores that slavery was already endemic in Africa, and African kingdoms resisted abolition even as the British forced it on them.

event notice
 Tuesday January 20, 2015 10:13 by Laurence Cox - MA Community Education, Equality and Social Activism
Public seminar on the possibility of social transformation
The MA in Community Education, Equality and Social Activism is delighted to announce
the details of John Holloway's public seminar, rescheduled from October. We think this
will be of interest to many community activists and social movement organisers in these
times of crisis and hope. John Holloway seminar
"Think Hope, Think Crisis"
Monday - Tuesday, April 13th and 14th, 10 am - 5 pm
NUI Maynooth
Can we still hope that there can be a radical transformation of society? How does the present capitalist crisis
relate to the possibility of hope? Crisis seems to kill hope, yet the crisis of the system must be a central concept
of social transformation. How do we re-learn hope, re-learn crisis?
John Holloway is a Professor of Sociology at the Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades in the Benemérita
Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, Mexico and Honorary Visiting Professor at the University of Rhodes, South Africa.
He has published widely on Marxist theory, on the Zapatista movement and on the new forms of anti-capitalist
struggle. His books Change the World without taking Power (Pluto, London, 2002, new edition 2010) and Crack
Capitalism (Pluto, London, 2010), have stirred international debate and have been widely translated.
The seminar is free but we ask participants to come for both days and read a short (20-page) text in advance so
that everyone will get as much as possible out of the event.
To register, please email laurence.cox AT nuim.ie and I will set aside a place for you and send details of the location
and text. Do please feel free to pass on this invite to others you feel may be interested.
Event organised by the MA in Community Education, Equality and Social Activism.
Thanks to the Faculty of Social Sciences, Maynooth for financial support.
