We are a leading centre for Critical Social Theory in the United Kingdom with six members of academic staff working on the Frankfurt School (Adorno, Habermas, Honneth), contemporary French thought (Derrida, Foucault, Rancière) and issues in Critical Social Theory, such as activist political theory, deliberative democracy, and the moral limits of markets.
