Dear all,

The year 2019 marks a century since the death of Rosa Luxemburg, just 47
years old at the time of her brutal murder.

Public discussion on Rosa Luxemburg's ideas regarding women's
emancipation, imperialism and war, on socialism and capitalism has
however, remained of a limited nature in our own setting. A renewed
interest in some of her economic theories among some scholars in India
exists, albeit confined to a select few.

Observing the centenary year of her death, provides us with an
opportunity to explore and engage with the life and ideas of a complex
and indeed controversial historical figure, about whom it has been said
that she "travels into the twenty-first century like a great messenger
bird, spanning continents, scanning history, to remind us that our
present is not new but a continuation of a long human conflict changing
only in intensity and scope. Her fiery critical intellect and ardent
spirit are as vital for this time as in her own" (Adrienne Rich, 2004)

CWDS, in partnership with the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation is happy to
invite you to a panel discussion on the life and ideas of Rosa Luxemburg
  on Tuesday, 19th March at Constitution Club, 2.30 pm.

Speakers:

Irfan Habib, Professor (Emeritus), Dept. of History, Aligarh Muslim
University

Utsa Patnaik, Professor (Emerita), Centre for Economic Studies and
Planning, Jawaharlal Nehru University

Chirashree Dasgupta, Associate Professor, Centre for the Study of Law
and Governance, Jawaharlal Nehru University

Moderator:

Ritu Dewan, former  Director & Professor. Department of
Economics,University of Mumbai (Bombay) and President, IAWS (2014-2017)

The Panel discussion will be followed by a film screening of Margarethe
von Trotta's award winning bipoic, 'Rosa Luxemburg'

May we invite you to join us for tea before the panel discussion from
2.00 pm onwards at the venue.

I look forward to your being with us on 19th March.


Best regards.
