Institute for the Critical Study of Society

ICSS is a diverse group of activists and educators based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Through classes and workshops, social events and community action, we focus on an analysis of our society from a working-class perspective. Class analysis is used to provide crucial insights into how today’s conditions came about and how we can implement positive changes in our society.

If you are seeking a deeper understanding of our socio-political-economic conditions, and want to contribute to positive change, we invite you to join us.

The Institute is always searching for teachers who love to teach and students who love to learn. We have the following affiliations and growing.
