In this episode of Conversations on Anarres, we sat down with Chuck Morse and Lara Messersmith-Glavin to talk about the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Institute for Anarchist Studies. The IAS operates as a nonprofit organization that funds artists, writers and organizers to produce materials that explore anarchism as a social and political ideal.
Chuck Morse founded the Institute for Anarchist Studies in 1996. His goal was to establish an anarchist think tank, an intellectual hub in which anarchist analyses of the world could be produced and disseminated. Chuck is a movement author, writing extensively about his formative experiences at the Institute for Social Ecology with Murray Bookchin. He has translated the classic biography of Buenaventura Durruti: “Durruti in the Spanish Revolution" (AK Press 2007) and "Paradoxes of Utopia: Anarchist Culture and Politics in Buenos Aires 1889-1910" (AK Press 2010).
Lara Messersmith Glavin is an activist/organizer and current Board member of the Institute for Anarchist Studies. She has been with the organization for over 10 years and has helped to edit some important collections including "Angels with Dirty Faces", by Walidah Imarisha and "Life During Wartime, Resisting Counterinsurgency". She regularly teaches reading and writing classes at a community college in Portland, Oregon. Her forthcoming book is "Spirit Things"- a collection of reflections on growing up in Alaska.
