The London Critical Theory Summer School is a two week Summer School held at Birkbeck, University of London. It is a unique opportunity for graduate students and academics to follow a course of study with internationally renowned critical thinkers. The aim of the course is to foster exchange and debate and consists of at least 6 modules over the two weeks, each convened by one of the participating academics.

• foster and promote a climate of interdisciplinary research and collaboration among academics and researchers;
• promote new ideas and forms of understanding in the humanities;
• provide short-term fellowships for a small number of scholars from Britain and overseas, chosen in open competition;
• invite prominent writers, broadcasters and public figures to spend short periods at the Institute; and
