This month the topic for discussion will focus on how our understandings of class can be understood through our collective positions as precarious workers. If we are to correctly analyse our positionalities we must interrogate the way that capital adapts to maintain its dominance. The rise and expansion of neoliberalism has led to an internalisation of capitalist values to an extent never previously seen. We suggest the idea of precarity is key to understanding the process of this internalisation.
To aid our discussions (although not essential to participation) we have suggested some reading, which can be found below. In addition, we have posted a link to a group organising around precarious work.
Some questions to consider are:
Has class composition changed recently and does this relate to previous ideas of class?
Do we believe that the concept of precarity is useful for building solidarity and
analysing our current situation?
How do we organise around this new formulation and does traditional working-class
politics still have a place?
Really Open University 
where and when? thank you!
The meeting will be in the Alternative Strategies temporary art space upstairs in the light.
