INFO

The Institute for the Radical Imagination is pleased to announce the 2026 Marxist Summer School. The Summer School will take place from June 30th through July 14th on the Greek island of Kasos. The Marxist Summer School is designed to enable those who are new to historical materialism as well as more advanced participants to address fundamental questions, concepts, and texts in an intensive way and in an inclusive, non-sectarian, and congenial setting. There will be one daily mid-day seminar session every weekday, 12-2, and one evening session every other weekday, 7-9, (held in the Kasos municipal library) where participants will collaborate on close readings of texts and address some of the core political problems of our times.

The Marxist Summer School is open to everyone with intellectual drive and revolutionary zeal and does not require any previous preparation. Students can register on the Institute website. There is a non-refundable registration fee of $600 and an additional $1500 is due by the end of May. The tuition includes a single occupancy hotel room (there can be reduced rates for couples who share a room) and communal evening meals each day. All rooms are in the town of Free, easy walking distance to the library as well as most beaches, and feature balconies or terraces as well as private bathrooms. The evening meals are all hosted in the local tavernas and feature local seafood, cheeses, vegetables, meats, and other delicacies as well as wine, beer, and grappa. There will be a maximum of 30 students in total, some financial aid is available for students who are registered at public universities.

Kasos is a very small island with about 800 residents. It has very little tourism and is an ideal location for engaging in collaborative study and radical thinking. There are a few beaches in walking distance from where you will be staying as well as various small cafes, bars, and tavernas. There are daily flights to Kasos from Rhodes and Karpathos as well as multiple ferry boats from Piraeus each week (connecting through the islands of Crete, Rhodes, and Karpathos), ferry boat tickets from Piraeus start at about 60 euros.
