Feb 27, 2026 - Oil, Capitalism, and Climate

When: Friday February 27th, 7pm
Where: College Street United Church, 454 College St

All are invited to join us for the annual Leo Panitch Winter Lecture! We are honoured to welcome esteemed author and academic Adam Hanieh back to Toronto to deliver this year's talk. This event marks the fourth edition of the school's annual lecture, held in the memory of the late Leo Panitch.

Adam Hanieh will discuss how understanding oil's place in world capitalism is key to grasping geopolitical dynamics and global finance, reviving vital climate struggles, and challenging the structural interests underpinning the system itself. He will also explore the connections between our fossil-fuel centred world and the contemporary politics of Palestine and the wider Middle East.
