The Left, the Right and the Hegemony

Join us to learn about the concept of "hegemony" - how one group can come to dominate society, with their ideas becoming the "common sense" that everyone accepts.

We'll ask: Is the rise of the far right a new normal? How do they manage to gain so much support, including support from the working class? Is it the failure of the Left? Can the Left hegemonize protest attitudes? Do we even need to think about hegemony at all?

What to expect

After an introductory talk, we will discuss the topic in small groups, with some time to feed back to the whole room.

Most of our events have somewhere between 10-30 attendees.

We aim for every event to be accessible to everyone, regardless of any prior knowledge!
