Description

This podcast is a collation of talks and lectures given by Padraic Gibson since 2012. Paddy lives on stolen Bidjigal land in Sydney and is member of Solidarity, a revolutionary socialist organisation with branches across Australia. Most of the podcasts will be 20-30 minute recordings of introductions given by Paddy to educational meetings hosted by Solidarity, examining a range of historical and theoretical topics from a Marxist perspective. Paddy is also a Senior Researcher at the Jumbunna Institute at the University of Technology in Sydney with a research focus on the history of the labour movement and its relationship to struggles for Aboriginal rights. Some podcasts are recordings of academic lectures on this topic, along with theoretical discussions about Australian capitalism and Aboriginal oppression.
