The Left Agora
Welcome to The Left Agora, where the left gathers to think, reflect, and imagine. Each episode features interviews with voices from across the left — from the radical left to greens, social democrats, and others aligned with progressive change, as well as experts on left politics.
Guests include politicians, intellectuals, academics, activists, unionists, journalists, writers, and artists, all sharing perspectives and fostering dialogue. Join us for thoughtful, engaging conversations that aim to inform and inspire.
I’m Akif Cem Ozkardes, Ph.D., an independent researcher in Comparative Politics and part-time lecturer at Izmir University of Economics. I specialise in European left-wing party politics.
