NEXOS: Critical Theory and Interdisciplinary Research
NEXOS: Critical Theory and Interdisciplinary Research is a network for research and collective thinking founded in 2014. Our aim is to establish collaborations and partnerships across regional, national, and international spheres in order to produce methodological and theoretical knowledge in critical theory. NEXOS includes four inter-institutional research groups in Northeast, Midwest/North, Southeast, and South Brazil, connecting local, regional, and national research developed by professors, researchers, undergraduates, and graduate students in all five regions of the country. For each group, a coordinator manages local and regional research while involving the entire network. The work from each region provides a map of social, political, and cultural expressions in current Brazilian context, establishing a greater integration between academic research and the production of knowledge in social theory in the country. The network comprises diverse academics with expertise in such fields as philosophy, psychology, pedagogy, anthropology, political science, architecture, the arts, science fiction, neuroscience, and physics. In November 2016, NEXOS organized its first international meeting. It is led by four professors from Brazilian public universities:
