School of Politics and International Relations

Dr Robbie Shilliam and Dr Jeff Webber take part in the Historical Materialism and International Relations seminar series

1 March 2012

The Historical Materialism and International Relations seminar series, at the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford, seeks to explore and develop the multiple points of contact between Marxist theory and international relations, most broadly defined. 

It does so with the double aim of investigating the critical and explanatory potentials of Marxism in the domain of international relations, as well as to probe what an engagement with ‘the international’ might contribute to Marxist theory. The seminar series is associated with the journal of Historical Materialism: Research in Critical Marxist Theory and its forthcoming ‘Historical Materialism and International Relations’ book series.
