TheoryLAB

Description

The TheoryLab aims to provide a space for critical thinking about politics and society.

The TheoryLab is open to academics and non-academics alike, and it organises events of all kinds: conferences, workshops, reading groups, and more.

The TheoryLab explores points of connection and convergence between different kinds of critical theory within and beyond the study of politics. The idea of a lab for theory signals a characteristic of thinking that is central to critical political theory: it is experimental and engages creatively with spaces beyond the disciplinary boundaries of politics and International Relations. The lab builds connections, encounters new materials and has a transformative capacity, given its open and process-led form.

The TheoryLab offers a platform for staff and PhD students to engage with one another’s work, for visiting scholars to find an intellectual home and an opportunity for international theory-focused scholarship to disseminate knowledge.
