Lea Ypi is professor of political theory at London School of Economics, and adjunct associate professor of philosophy at the Australian National University, with expertise in Marxism and critical theory. She lives and works in London.
Ypi will be joined in conversation with Kristen R. Ghodsee, an award-winning author and professor of Russian and East European Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.
