We may add in a few short companion pieces to accompany these texts as the year goes on. Also, the final session on Emergent Strategy will function as a kind of open session where you’re welcome to bring and discuss any other texts that you feel related to this years theme of Activism and Resistance. Please note, that it’s likely that the LSFRC reading group will continue to be online only for the foreseeable future!
We will post guidance for months where texts might be harder to find or obtain cheaply. If you have any difficulties finding any of the texts, let us know and we’ll try our best to help you out!
