Everyone else is welcome to join us online. (*Please note the changed location from All Souls & Nuffield College.*)

The Critical Theory seminar at Oxford brings scholars who work on aspects of radical political theory or social critique. Past speakers have drawn on a range of different conversations within critical theory, including the Frankfurt School, French poststructuralism, various Marxisms, intersectional feminisms, anticolonial thinking, psychoanalysis, critical ecology, and antiracist critique.
