Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Imperial Marxism and the Political Economy of Intellectual Production (w/ Gabriel Rockhill)
Q: How do you push back against critiques of dialectical and historical materialism as reductive determinism in the academy?
Rockhill argues for a dialectical hermeneutics that weighs both the critical and valuable elements of bourgeois theory, separating useful insights from ideologically compromised positions, and emphasizes the integration of theory with practical revolutionary aims.
The Alliance of Sahel States: A New Chapter in African Development? (w/ Mikaela Erskog)
Q: What lessons does the AES have for the rest of Africa and the Global South?
The AES demonstrates the importance of solidarity and regional cooperation in addressing shared challenges while emphasizing the need to build political will and address historical legacies that hinder development.
The Alliance of Sahel States: A New Chapter in African Development? (w/ Mikaela Erskog)
Q: What was the political and economic situation in the Sahel like right before these military coups took place?
Before the coups, the Sahel countries faced extreme poverty, climate challenges, and a lack of infrastructure; however, there were signs of increased political organizing and civil society mobilization against the status quo.
Migration as Economic Imperialism (w/ Immanuel Ness)
Q: What does migration have to do with underdevelopment? Are high-skill and low-skill migrations different in their impacts?
Both high-skill and low-skill migrations contribute to the underdevelopment of source countries as they often deprive these countries of their talented individuals and do not provide significant benefits to local economies.
Demystifying Xinjiang and the 'Uyghur Genocide' Narrative (w/ Carl Zha)
Q: Are there tensions in terms of belonging with China for Uyghurs between different generations?
The younger generation that speaks Mandarin may feel more integrated, while the older generation, educated only in Uyghur, may feel less so, yet they still share a common identity.
