Critical Theory Workshop in Paris

The 2017 Workshop, directed by Gabriel Rockhill via Villanova University’s Doctoral Program in Philosophy, will take place from July 3-21 at the Sorbonne in central Paris. It is open to graduate students and faculty, as well as extremely advanced undergraduates and independent researchers.

The 2017 Workshop will be comprised of four interlocking components:

  • “Débats”: invited speakers debate on a common theme or question.
  • “Rencontres”: intellectuals are invited to participate in interviews on their work.
  • “Recherches en cours”: invited guests and the director discuss ongoing projects.
  • “Groupes de travail”: the participants present and workshop their own research.

The overall objective is to bring together a diverse panoply of thinkers from different horizons in order to cultivate productive debates around specific themes and issues. Invited guests for 2017 thus far include Miguel Abensour, Alice Canabate, Philippe Corcuff, Andrew Feenberg, Marie Goupy, Özgür Gürsoy, Mary Beth Mader, Patrice Maniglier, Maia Nahele, Jennifer Ponce de León, Arundhati Roy, Bernard Stiegler, Peter Skafish.
