Theory Since 2000 Reading Group
The Theory Since 2000 reading group meets fortnightly to discuss books and essays that represent new developments in the evolution of critical theory. We read a different thinker every session, though certain themes have been particularly prominent in our discussions, including critical animal studies, biopolitics, post-colonial theories and feminist theory.
The group is informal, friendly, and requires no specialist knowledge.
