This issue features a Forum on “Democratic Left Futures” with an essay “Neither Cynicism Nor Utopia” by Argentinian political theorist José Aricó, published for the first time in English. For more on the significance of Arico’s scholarship at this particular geopolitical moment of global crisis, read our introductory Editorial Note which includes prefatory comments by feminist theorists Verónica Gago and Susana Draper. Also, featured in this same Forum is a timely interview by feminist scholar Manijeh Moradian with Iranian left feminist Nadia Naji on Resisting Authoritarianism and War: An Iranian Feminist Perspective.

The same forum features a new piece on post-capitalist media by Professor Victor Pickard and a multi-lingual conversation on worker-owned intersectional platforms in Brazil and Argentina by CCC Editorial Board Member, Professor Grohmann.

Clark and Meshell L. Sturgis, this reflexive forum features five instructive essays for critical scholarly survival. Please check it out and share with your students and colleagues.
