In July 2025, CPE hosted over 35 activists from across the country at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA for our Summer Institute.

CPE’s Staff Economists led a four-day workshop in radical economics that covered the history of global capitalism; economics of racism and patriarchy; colonialism and imperialism; and alternative economic systems. It applied CPE’s unique pedagogical approach which involves co-producing the learning experience, inviting participants to connect the concepts discussed to their practical experience to build new knowledge together.
