Building Capacity with Money on the Left

Published: March 11, 2020, 7 p.m.

This month\u2019s Money on the Left episode departs from the show\u2019s regular interview format to reflect on the past, present and future of the Money on the Left project as a whole. We focus, in particular, on a recent special scholarly journal issue dedicated to Money on the Left, which was published by Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies and guest-edited by our friend Andr\xe9s Bernal. The issue joins archival text, audio and video with fresh essays about institution building, history, and media composed by co-hosts Billy Saas, Maxximilian Seijo and Scott Ferguson, respectively.\xa0

Recorded in what now seems like a very different context before the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, the episode additionally discusses the graduate student workers\u2019 ongoing \u201ccost of living adjustment\u201d (COLA) strikes in the University of California system and U.S. Representative Ayanna Pressley\u2019s powerful appeal to our colleague David Stein\u2019s scholarship on the Civil Rights struggle for full employment in a recent House Financial Services Committee meeting. Finally, we ponder Money on the Left's future efforts, including our upcoming second bi-annual conference titled, Money on the Left: The Green New Deal Across the Arts and Humanities. Originally scheduled for April 24 \u2013 26 at Louisiana State University, the conference has recently been postponed to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
