IDC UMKCLUMPENPROLETARIAT—The third annual Interdisciplinary Conference has been presented by UMKC’s Doctoral Student Council, 24-25 APR 2015, at UMKC’s Atterbury Student Success Center.

Lumpenproletariat.org will archive photos, audio, and transcripts from sessions 15, 18, 20, and 21 during day two of the conference here, as time allows.  (We’re also archiving resources from day one here.)  Sudeep Regmi, a conference moderator and friend of Lumpenproletariat.org, informed us we all owe a debt of gratitude to mutual friend, colleague, and conference presenter, Christian Dodge for inviting Dr. Stephen T. Ziliak (Professor of Economics, Roosevelt University) to deliver the 2015 IDC Keynote Address at UMKC.

Dr. Ziliak has kindly offered to send Lumpenproletariat.org copies of his papers, which he referenced in his Keynote Address.  Dr. Ziliak has also kindly allowed Lumpenproletariat.org to feature photos of some of his slides, despite the scourge of plagiarists and fools jackin’ for beats without giving credit where credit is due (as he noted, in passing, during his address).  We give Dr. Ziliak much props for that, a true poverty scholar in every sense of the term.  The people need more poverty scholars, such as Dr. Ziliak and others on the street, such as Poor Magazine/Prensa Pobre.  Lumpenproletariat will write a report-back to the working classes on his brilliant keynote address.  (Please check back, here, especially after final exams next month, or after I graduate, get a job, and get swallowed by a capitalist mode of production, and finally claw my way back out.)

 

If you have any content related to UMKC’s 2015 IDC, especially Session 2, please contact Lumpenproletariat.org and help increase the free flow of information toward the emancipation of the working classes through critical free speech.
