SUMMARY:Rethinking Class in the 21st Century: The Education System and Class Hierarchy
DESCRIPTION:Part of a series of events on class relations in the UK today. For information on the whole series of events for Rethinking Class in the 21st Century\, see here. \n\n\n\nTHE EDUCATION SYSTEM AND CLASS HIERARCHY: Dan Evans with Michaela Rafferty \n\n\n\nThe idea of a ‘good education’\, or lack thereof\, is often bound up with class and ideas of ‘social mobility.’ Are modern and classic perceptions of the ‘educated’ person reflective of genuine intelligence or a complicated system of taught behaviors. How much of what we imagine as ‘education’ is actually related to the acquiring of knowledge and how much of it is a particular way of walking and talking\, drilled into a select few at elite institutions? How does the culture of ‘aspiration’ inform our ideas of education? \n\n\n\nDan will be joined by Michaela Rafferty who has worked on various youth projects in her home city of Belfast with young people outside of education\, training and employment\, on personal development\, good relations\, peace and reconciliation and citizenship projects. Michaela has also worked overseas on women’s empowerment projects in Tajikistan\, youth rights projects in Palestinian refugee camp in The West Bank of Palestine and in refugee camps across Greece. She is currently working as a Youth Engagement and Campaigns Organiser for Just For Kids Law. \n\n\n\n**Please note: these events will NOT be taking place at Housmans\, but at a nearby events space\, the St Pancras & Somers Town Living Centre\, directly behind the British Library\, and adjoining the Francis Crick Institute** \n\n\n\n\n\nTicket Information\n\n\n\nIf you are short on funds\, please email us to gain free entry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)\n				Insta\n			Like this:Like Loading...

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: Solitary Pleasure: Selected Poems\, Journals and Ephemera of John Wieners

Solitary Pleasure delivers us this poet raw with mid-century queer feelings. Here\, we encounter a writer preoccupied with the power and magic of poetics to profoundly render love\, loss and survival in the face of destruction.’— Nat Raha\, from the introduction \n\n\n\nJoin us at Housmans for the launch of ‘Solitary Pleasure: selected Poems\, journals and ephemera’ by the great American poet John Wieners.  \n\n\n\nWith an introduction by the legendary Nat Raha\, this new collection from Pilot Press\, the country’s most exciting queer publisher\, is a vital addition to the fatally neglected poet’s oeuvre.

SUMMARY:Rethinking Class in the 21st Century: The Professional Managerial Class and their Politics
DESCRIPTION:Part of a series of events on class relations in the UK today. For information on the whole series of events for Rethinking Class in the 21st Century\, see here. \n\n\n\nTHE PROFESSIONAL MANAGERIAL CLASS AND THEIR POLITICS: Dan Evans with Catherine Liu and George Hoare \n\n\n\nThis event is hosted in conjunction with Bungacast \n\n\n\nDan will be joined by Catherine Liu and George Hoare to discuss the rise of the professional managerial class. A defining aspect of neoliberalism has been the inordinate growth of the ‘professional managerial class’ who have played a prominent role in British politics over the last 20 years. While other professions have been decimated by the various financial crises of recent decades the managerial class has only grown. Liu\, one of the first thinkers to write on this phenomena\, defines them as a group which loyally serves capitalism while insisting on their own progressive heroism. Dan\, Catherine and George will talk about the ways in which ‘professional managerial’ values have slipped into\, and nullified\, contemporary left-wing discourses around class and how these tendencies might be critiqued from a left perspective. \n\n\n\nCatherine Liu is a professor of film and media studies and visual studies at University of California Irvine. She is also a writer and a contributor to Jacobin magazine. She is the author of ‘Virtue Hoarders: The Case against the Professional Managerial Class’\, a book that exposes the hypocrisy and self-interest of the credentialed elite class that claims to be progressive while serving capitalism. \n\n\n\nGeorge Hoare is a writer based in London. His books include Taking Control: Sovereignty and Democracy After Brexit\, The End of the End of History\, and An Introduction to Antonio Gramsci: His Life\, Thought\, and Legacy. He is an editor at The Northern Star and one of the hosts of Bungacast. His work has appeared in the Times Literary Supplement\, Compact\, Damage Magazine\, and elsewhere. \n\n\n\n\n\n**Please note: these events will NOT be taking place at Housmans\, but at a nearby events space\, the St Pancras & Somers Town Living Centre\, directly behind the British Library\, and adjoining the Francis Crick Institute** \n\n\n\n\n\nTicket Information\n\n\n\nIf you’d like a copy of Catherine Liu’s book Virtue Hoarders: The Case against the Professional Managerial Class then choose the book plus entry ticket: this ticket includes free entry to the event.
