Critical Highlights
Terry Maley (left) and Imaculada Kangussu (right) are the two, new co-chairs of the Marcuse Society.  They succeed the two, longstanding co-chairs Arnold L. Farr (University of Kentucky) and Douglas Kellner (University of Callifornia, Los Angeles), both of whom remain on the Board of Directors.

Terry Maley [MA, Social and Political Thought, York University; PhD, Political Science, University of Toronto] is a professor of politics at York University in Toronto, CANADA. His research interests lie in the areas of Critical Theory (Marcuse and Adorno), radical democratic theory (Sheldon Wolin), twentieth century political and social thought (Max Weber, Hannah Arendt), Marx and 20th century Marxism, theories of the state and neoliberalism. Global democratic, ecological, social and protest movements are also key areas of interest. He has also taught and written about Canadian political economy and public policy in a global context, with a focus on the transformative democratic potential of alternative, participatory community–based budget processes.


Imaculate (Leca) Maria Guimarães Kangussu [MA and PhD, Philosophy, at Faculty of Philosophy and Human Sciences, Federal University of Minas Gerais] is a professor of philosophy and aesthetics at Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Defil, in BRASIL. She teaches courses and writes on critical theory and aesthetics--informed by Marcuse's philosophy, desiring to make it evident - in an irrational running world, a world where scarcity and poverty can be objectively eliminated.
