We welcome papers from a wide range of subjects in the hope of representing the multi-disciplinary approach of Kropotkin. For example, but not limited to, any of the below:
- The modern relevance of Kropotkin’s work: especially within the context of neoliberalism, the Covid 19 pandemic and climate change
- Kropotkin’s contributions to science and the philosophy of science
- Kropotkin’s position within the broader anarchist movement now and during his lifetime
- The practice of applying many of Kropotkin’s theoretical perspectives: direct action, mutual aid groups etc
- Critical perspectives on Kropotkin’s work and continuing relevance (especially from a marxist and anarchist perspective)
- Theories of change on individual, social, and planetary scales, adaptation, revolution, evolution
- Revolutionary practice and social transformations, optimism, utopianism, critique
- Forms of organisation, federation, communism, means and ends
- The forgotten Kropotkin: overlooked facets of his life, work, and theory
