With the influx of new people on here, it makes sense to reintroduce myself. My name is Mikkel Flohr and I am currently working on a book on Marx’s critique of political theology and co-editing a special issue of Political Theology on “Marx and Revolution.”

In recent weeks, Roskilde University (RUC) has come under attack for admitting international students and for its tradition of critical, socially engaged research. This is part of a broader assault on academic freedom and an effort to silence independent and critical research.

Me and a bunch of brilliant colleagues got an op-ed responding to the recent political attacks on Roskilde University in the Danish newspaper Politiken today.

A section of a page from an unidentified book. It reads: “To the extent that such a thing as ‘Danish’ Marxism exists, it must immediately abolish itself - it must become non-insular and engage with, and contribute to, a global literature. As our conference has become increasingly international, it will hopefully contribute to this devel-opment. So the answer to the question ‘what is Danish Marxism?’ is”

A meme with Batman slapping Robin with two speech bubbles. Robin says "Can't we just go to the conference" and Batman slaps him abd says "we need to register first."

Meme of Dr Manhattan from the Watchmen comic disintegrating a person. Above Dr Manhattan the text “Self-abolition” is super-imposed; above the person being disintegrated the text “Danish Marxism” is super-imposed.

Close to 65k watching the livefeed from the Global Sumud Flotilla off the coast of Gaza.
