Dear colleagues, students, and friends,

Critical Theory is quickly approaching: APRIL 15, 2017.

This year the Summer School will focus on SOVEREIGNTY AND SOCIAL
MOVEMENTS and more specifically on the problems and opportunities
raised by fundamental transformations of contemporary politics.
Classes, seminars, public meetings and debates will address this topic
both from an historical and a theoretical perspective, and through the
analysis of exemplary case studies, aiming at providing critical tools
for the understanding of the current dynamics. The Summer School in
Global Studies and Critical Theory will take place in Bologna across
two whole weeks from June 26 to July 7, 2017. The intensive program
consists of lectures, seminars, critical dialogues, workshops, and
project presentations.
Among the 2017 Faculty:

GALLI, David HARVEY, Murad IDRIS, Sandro MEZZADRA, Hlonipha MOKOENA,
