Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse : Event : The Ric Pfeffer lecture: David Harvey

The Ric Pfeffer lecture: David Harvey

Thursday May 24, 7PM @ 2640 (2640 St. Paul St.)

The Ric Pfeffer Lecture commemorates the life and work of Ric Pfeffer, a committed social justice activist and advocate who passed away in 2002. David Harvey, who developed his ideas around the geography of anticapitalism to a large extent during his extended residence in Baltimore, gave the first Pfeffer memorial lecture in 2002, where he spoke about "The New Imperialism." 2640 and Red Emma's have been honored to host several of the most recent Pfeffer lectures.

For this year's Lecture, which will commemorate the tenth anniversary of Ric's passing, David Harvey will be returning to Baltimore; more information about the topic of his talk is forthcoming.

The event will be free, but donations to the lecture fund—a project of the amazing Research Associates Foundation—to keep this tradition honoring Ric Pfeffer's legacy alive are always welcome.
