Description
“Understanding neoliberalism in the postsocialist region” to be held at King’s College London on Mon 17 March 2014. This free one-day workshop is designed to provide an informal and supportive space for researchers of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union to consider and perhaps re-consider how neoliberalism is implicated in their own work.
