Join the New Haven chapter of Science for the People’s Political Education working group as we host the second module of our 12-part monthly series on The Social Production of Science!
In Module Two: Science as Proletarianizing and Proletarianized, we will be exploring the role that science had and continues to have in shaping the working conditions of people around the world as well as the working conditions of scientists themselves. Our conversation will continue to deepen our understanding of the labor process in capitalist society and uncover the relationships between science, capitalism, and political struggle.
