Hi
Jerry.
I am organising
in December a conference on Rosa Luxemburg. If you find it worthwhile,
you may communicate the programme as it is now to the list. Of course,
people willing to come and listen are welcome. Since there were some
people who had to renounce participation, the conference has even some
room for more papers to be presented. So, if by chance there are some
people having ready good work on Luxemburg (unfortunately, no
possibility to pay the travel), they can send me a proposal in the
usual format. After the preliminary programme below, under the heading
"missing papers", people may find the topics which were
originally on the programme, and now are not because speakers had to
decline the invitation, topics on which I am particularly interested
in contributions.
