Inštitut za delavske študije

Institute for Labour Studies (ILS) or Inštitut za delavske študije (IDŠ) in Slovenia is a new institute, founded by members of Workers and Punks’ University (DPU) in 2012. Currently, its boards unite more than twenty students, activists and researchers who are predominantly of Marxist orientation. Our mission is to rehabilitate Marxist critique of political economy in Slovenian academic and public discourse and to establish a socialist political position in the Slovenian political space. For that purpose, we cooperate mostly with Workers and Punks’ University (WPU) and with Publishing House Naprej!. Together we constitute an institutional front that is organizing lectures, public debates, and conferences, publishing books and an academic journal Borec (Fighter).
