Critical Times is a peer reviewed open access journal published by Duke University Press with the aim of foregrounding encounters between canonical critical theory and various traditions of critique emerging from other historical legacies, seeking to highlight the multiple forms that critical thought takes today.

The Consortium Books publishes critical theory from Africa and its diasporas, Latin America, the Arab world, and South Asia, pursuing the importance of translation not only among languages, but epistemological paradigms as well.

The Consortium’s workshop series focuses on experimental artistic and intellectual practices that engage the pressing issues of our times. The aim of the workshops is to explore, map, and connect these practices and articulate critical vocabularies for the present and future.
