Institutional Structure

Departments

Departments, units, laboratories, offices, and project cells through which LEFT-P organises theoretical, editorial, documentary, and cooperative work.

Public Structure

Academic departments, focused units, special laboratories, functional offices, and project cells.

LEFT-P distinguishes academic structure from administrative function. Departments and units name fields of theoretical work; offices name public functions; project cells name focused tasks and programme-based formations.
