FOR WORKSHOPS<BR><BR>This year’s URPE Summer Workshop/Retreat, August 10 – 13,
will focus on the politically current issue of immigration. See the
program of plenaries and the David Gordon Lecture below. As always, we will fill
the weekend with workshops on all aspects of Radical Political Economy (not just
immigration). Some workshops will focus on theoretical work, while others will
keep us all abreast of active struggles in the US and around the
world.<BR><BR>If you’d like to generate and participate in some dialogue on your
work with others engaged in the same theoretical and real world struggles,
please propose a workshop on it – with a group of one or two others if you know
some people working on the same topic, or by yourself if not. The workshop
coordinator this year is Graham Cassano. Please send your proposal to <A
