CALL FOR PAPERS
The London Conference in Critical Thought
Birkbeck College, London
June 29th and 30th, 2012
In collaboration with the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities, the London
Conference in Critical Thought (LCCT) is designed to create a space for an
interdisciplinary exchange of ideas for scholars who work with “critical”
traditions and concerns. We welcome work from the humanities and social
sciences, including but not limited to papers drawing upon continental
philosophy, critical legal theory, critical geography and the Frankfurt
School. The LCCT aims to provide an opportunity for those who frequently
find themselves at the margins of their department or discipline to engage
with other scholars who share theoretical approaches and interests.
Interdisciplinary and inter-institutional, the conference hopes to foster
emergent critical thought and provide new avenues for critically orientated
scholarship and collaboration.
Scholars working in philosophy, literature, geography, law, art, and
politics departments have already proposed panels and/or streams for the
conference. These address issues as diverse as animality, sovereignty, human
rights, cosmopolitanism, the city, and the relationship between text and
space. Through these streams participants are encouraged to engage with a
variety of thinkers including Kant, Deleuze, Marx, Lacan, Foucault, Spinoza
and Derrida, to name a few.
If you would like to present a paper as part of an existing stream/panel,
propose a new stream/panel or contribute to the general stream please see
our website for details. The deadline for stream proposals is the 15th of
January, 2012, and the deadline for paper proposals is the 19th of February,
2012. The conference will be open for registration as of
April 2012 and is free for participants.
