The 2022 Critical Theory in Critical Times annual series workshop on April 1 will focus around the work of Nadia Urbinati (Kyriakos Tsakopoulos Professor of Political Theory, Columbia University) and, in particular, her book Me the People: How Populism Transforms Democracy (Harvard University Press). Nadia Urbinati will discuss this work with four commentators: William Mazzarella (University of Chicago), Paulina Ochoa Espejo (Haverford College), Dilip Gaonkar (Northwestern), and Axel Mueller (Northwestern).
The workshop will allow for a comfortable discussion format, and a stimulating dialogue between faculty and graduate students. We are glad to offer an opportunity to discuss this groundbreaking work with Nadia Urbinati herself.
This event is generously co-sponsored by The Center for Global Culture and Communication, the Kreeger-Wolf foundation, the Critical Theory Cluster, and the Department of Philosophy.
The “Dismantling Democracy from Within” summer school advances the twin mission of understanding the critical challenges democracy is facing and developing the democratic agendas that will meet these challenges under variable cultural and socio-economic conditions. Such a mission can only be secured by facilitating a robust dialogue among students, activists, and scholars assembled from all over the world. Students will leave the Summer School with a deeper knowledge of the specific challenges facing democracy in different contexts as well as a global understanding of how they are connected.
The application deadline is February 28, 2022. Once admitted, all costs related to participation will be covered by the organizers.
