Networks
HM was created in London, UK in 1997. One of its founding objectives was to make historical materialism less anglocentric. Since then, it has developed various networks in other parts of the world. Activists and academics have organised - some on a regular basis - conferences in major cities such as Delhi, New York, Sydney, Rome, Beirut, Toronto and Motreal. These are mostly self-organised, while always maintaining links with London's editorial board.

HM Toronto
The Historical Materialism Toronto 2016 Conference was a huge success! The organizing committee would like to sincerely thank all of our plenary speakers, the Marx in Soho team, the participating publishers, our panelists and attendees for a great exchange of progressive socialist ideas and a job well done. We would especially like to thank all of our many volunteers and staff, without whom none of this would have been possible. We look forward to many more fruitful HM conferences in the future.

The Marxist-Feminist Stream
Since 2012 the Marxist-feminist stream has been a key component of the Historical Materialism conference in London. The number of feminists participating in the HM conference until then had been much lower than it should have been, and feminist discussions had not garnered the attention and centrality that they deserve. A number of us affiliated to the journal in various ways decided it was time for Historical Materialism to make an effort to include more feminist debates, scholars, and activists within both the conference and the journal.
