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.

The Consortium hosts lectures, seminars, workshops, and book conversations with visiting scholars, authors, activists, artists, and researchers from around the world, in addition to co-sponsoring events with partners and collaborators.

International Consortiumof Critical Theory Programs (ICCTP)

The International Consortium of Critical Theory Programs seeks to document, connect, and support the various programs and projects that now represent critical theory across the globe. Through its work, the Consortium aims to document the global contours of critical theory today, supporting critical thought both inside and outside the university in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and science and technology studies, and seeking collaborative forms for critically responding to pressing global challenges.
