About this Event
To celebrate 50 years of Verso Books we bring you Verso Live, a new virtual live events programme. We have selected authors to speak on a wide range of subjects including the future of work, what a feminist city might look like, how our virtual spaces have become the ‘new normal’, and how enslaved West Indian women played a distinct role in slave resistance. These events are free and will be live-streamed to Verso’s YouTube and Facebook pages fortnightly on Thursday evenings UK time, as well as being made available to watch after the event has finished.

For the Verso Live debut event, Laleh Khalili, author of Sinews of War and Trade and Rowland Atkinson, author of Alpha City, will discuss global flows of commodities, capital and people, as well as looking to the emerging horizons of change in a post-Covid world, and the likely impacts and changes on key urban centres.
