Lorraine Pratley - Real Left

lpratley

I am currently working on a few projects: an analysis of the left response to SARS-Cov2 in Australia in relation to the composition of the modern workforce and modern union movement; an analysis of the nature of the public health system in a modern social democratic country like Australia and implications for the Left; an analysis of the class character of the Freedom Movement; and a history of medicine/health care in class society. If you would like to be involved, please get in touch at lorrainepratley@hotmail.com. I also lead free online history study groups to help people grasp the concepts of class in past struggles.
