On the bottom section of this page are dozens pictures from the March 21-22, 2013 conference organized by three of my former Ph. D. students (Howard Brick, Robbie Lieberman, Paula Rabinowitz), "Lineages of the Literary Left," on the occasion my impending U-M retirement. They were taken by Dick Meisler and Sharon Krauss. In the item labeled "Program Final Spread" you can see a list of all speakers, topics, and identifications. Immediately above these comments are a shot of Michael Löwy and Howard Brick opening the first session, Tariq Ali at his Keynote, Dayo Gore and Lawrence Jackson giving their talks, and Dina Karageorgos introducing Alan at the end. Just underneath are a large reproduction of the poster for the conference and scene from a post-conference brunch with the "gang of five"--Angela, Eleni, Michael, Alan, and Dick.
