Marx’s Theory of Value at the Frontiers does a deep dive into the fundamentals of value theory to investigate the political economics of today. Güney Işıkara and Patrick Mokre go to its frontiers, where value theory is modified, to explain the explosive crises looming in imperialist conflict and ecological breakdown. They join AHE’s webinar to introduce what Marxist economics has to say about value transfers and ground rent, and what their new empirical approach adds to our understanding of the geopolitical shifts in the last decades.
Decolonizing Economics explores the deeply Eurocentric foundations that shape how economists study the world today. These have rendered the discipline ill-equipped to tackle critical questions, such as structural racism, uneven development, the climate crisis, labour relations, and how structural power shapes economic outcomes. Decolonizing economics entails challenging the norms of neutrality and objectivity that economists claim to speak from, while fostering alternative ways of understanding the economy that take seriously structural power relations and contemporary processes of economic development. Readers will come to understand the political stakes of decolonization and the wide range of scholarship that already exists that can help us grasp economics from non-Eurocentric perspectives. Through such scholarship, we can gain an enriched understanding of capitalism and its relationship to exploitation, colonialism, and racialisation.

To apply, candidates should complete all sections of the form hereas fully as they can. Applications will be evaluated in terms of the strength of the case they make for wanting to attend the workshop, and the applicant’s need to attend and its potential benefit. Applications tend to fall down if they say too little or are too vague. The final deadline for applications is 18th February 2026. Successful candidates will be informed within 10 working days of that date.
Further details are available down below. Please encourage your PhD students to apply and please share this invitation.
