Oct 23-24, 2015 Dissenting Traditions Conference
Bryan D. Palmer, Canada Research Chair in the Canadian Studies Department at Trent University from 2001-2015, has long been concerned with the themes of dissent and social conflict.
From the 1970s to the present he has published extensively in the fields of labour and social history, exploring a wide array of subjects associated with class formation and class struggle, marginality, protest, historiography and Marxist theory, and the revolutionary left.
To address the diversity and range of these concerns, scholars from around the world (including former and current MA and PhD students of Palmer's) will gather at Trent University on October 23-24, 2015 presenting papers associated with various dissenting traditions.
All conference sessions will be held in Bagnani Hall, Traill College.
