His work is a synthesis of Braudelian history, Hegelian Marxism, and the anarchist anthropology of Peter Kropotkin.[6] Together with John Holloway and several other dissident academics, Grubacic has assembled a global federation of activist scholars and academic programs "inhabiting the cracks in academia".[7]
He is a member of the Retort collective and has participated in grassroots alter-globalization movement[8] and has supported international projects in Yugoslavia[9] and Rojava.[10]
