The Rundown
My name is E. Colin Ruggero. This blog focuses primarily on processes of social change, drawing from politics and culture. The name comes from the work of Antonio Gramsci, a huge influence on my thinking. Please comment. Feel free to contact me: ecolinr@warofposition.com

Hey dork, put something on this page!

Hey there,
I am also interested with Gramsci, and Gramscian theory, particularly with its application to international relations. I run a blog on Gramsci, but it is only available in Turkish at the moment. Still, I would like you to check it when you have time, maybe you may find something useful in it. (http://www.neogramscian.blogspot.com) There are articles, links and news that are related with Gramsci and Gramscian studies. There is also a list of scholars who I found on various sources who write on Gramsci, etc. Since you study in the USA, I would like to ask you whether you know any scholars in the USA or Canada, be they in political science departments or in sociology, who are working on Gramsci or who are interested in critical theories in political science or sociology or international relations. Could you suggest me the names you know, you came across while you’re reading.
Best Regards,
Feyzullah
